Centre Village is a 25-unit affordable housing development in Winnipeg, Canada with a bold, modern look. It is located in Winnipeg’s Central Park neighborhood, which has a high number of immigrants and a shortage of affordable housing. The project, sited on a 13,000 square foot infill lot, was developed by CentreVenture Development Corporation, a public/private downtown development authority. Housing is arranged around a green inner courtyard shared by residents and open to the surrounding community, as well as a new through street that accommodates pedestrian traffic, provides access to parking for residents, and connects the village to the broader neighborhood. Each unit at Centre Village has a private entrance from either the courtyard or interior street, and each unit has an individual ground-level or rooftop patio.
