Les suites Marion
In the heart of St. Boniface, Les Suites Marion was envisioned as more than just a housing project – it was designed to support Winnipeg’s Francophone and immigrant communities with a blend of affordable housing, market-rate suites, and vital community services.
As Construction Manager, Bockstael Construction worked closely with the owner to deliver a high-quality, efficiently managed build, meeting project goals while keeping affordability and accessibility at the forefront. Through careful planning and coordination, we completed the project within a month of the scheduled substantial completion, ensuring residents could move in and access essential services as planned.
This five-storey, 48-unit mixed-use development includes 20 affordable suites alongside 28 market-rate apartments, offering barrier-free units, in-suite laundry, exterior balconies, and a multipurpose room. Our team optimized structured parking beneath the building to maximize space while maintaining accessibility. The ground floor houses a Francophone Adult Education Centre, a Resettlement Program for newcomers, and the headquarters for Réseau Compassion Network, providing essential resources that strengthen the community.
By aligning construction execution with the owner’s vision, we helped Réseau Compassion Network create a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive living environment, demonstrating how affordable housing can be thoughtfully integrated into the urban fabric of St. Boniface.
