Build Canada Homes is accepting Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) for the partial redevelopment of the Naawi-Oodena property, a prime site prioritized for a Direct Build approach using modern construction methods to accelerate affordable housing delivery in Winnipeg.

The earmarked parcel on the Canada Lands Company portion of the site will deliver 320 homes. The entire Naawi-Oodena site will provide approximately 2,100 homes, setting a new standard for collaboration and innovation.
