Sustainability

BUILT TO LAST.
BUILT TO PERFORM.

2675 Portage is built using Paragon's pioneering Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction — the same technology behind some of Winnipeg's highest-performing new rental buildings.

What that means for you

  • Central heating and cooling are managed with digital thermostats, controlling each suite's heating and cooling. Baseboard heaters and through-the-wall air conditioners are not used.
  • Lower energy costs — High-performance building envelopes keep heating and cooling bills down year-round.
  • Quieter living — 8-inch concrete cores mean you won't hear your neighbours. Or the traffic.
  • Cleaner air — Central heat recovery ventilation delivers fresh, filtered air to every suite.
  • Comfortable temperatures — Heat pump systems provide efficient heating and cooling without the extremes.

What it means for the planet

  • Energy efficiency exceeding national building standards (2020 NECB)
  • Urban infill development that uses existing infrastructure and reduces sprawl
  • Transit-oriented location supporting reduced vehicle dependency.

The Partners

Built by trusted hands

Owner

Shoal Lake 40 First Nation

Shoal Lake 40 First Nation's ancestral lands were expropriated over a century ago to supply Winnipeg's drinking water. For 24 years, the community lived under a boil water advisory — providing clean water to a city of hundreds of thousands while their own people could not drink from the tap. Accessible only by barge or ice road until Freedom Road was completed in 2019, the Nation persevered through decades of geographic isolation and systemic neglect. In 2021, Shoal Lake 40 opened its own award-winning water treatment plant and lifted the advisory for good. This development represents Nation-led investment in housing and community — turning resilience into lasting wealth for generations to come.
