Winnipeg Downtown Campus Up for Sale | Winnipeg News
Description
Canad Inns is selling its downtown Winnipeg crown jewels—the Radisson Hotel, Somerset Building, and Metropolitan Entertainment Centre—positioned as a “connected campus” on Portage Avenue. While the company insists it’s still committed to the city, local business owners fear another major exit, especially with Giant Tiger also closing downtown. Entrepreneurs are sounding the alarm, urging the mayor to address rising concerns like transient populations and safety gaps. City officials counter that this is part of a healthy, $1B+ investment boom along Portage, including housing and healthcare. Meanwhile, the Manitoba Métis Federation is eyeing the properties for potential acquisition, adding layers to a pivotal moment for Winnipeg’s downtown future.
