where growth is already in motion
Selkirk has experienced significant commercial growth in the northwest corner of the city. The area features big-box retail, expanded healthcare infrastructure, and a growing cluster of manufacturing firms. Together, these developments have created thriving commercial hubs and new opportunities for complementary businesses.
downtown development
Selkirk continues to invest in its downtown. The Downtown Selkirk Renewal Strategy focuses on creating a vibrant, safe, and welcoming core for residents, businesses, and visitors. Over the past decade, the downtown has experienced steady growth, including new housing and businesses. The City continues to build on that momentum.
The strategy focuses on:
- Capitalizing on city assets
- Promoting mixed-use development
- Redesigning and beautifying downtown streets
- Enhancing parks and open spaces while supporting recreation and cultural activities
- Promoting active transportation
To encourage investment and stimulate commercial activity, Manitoba Avenue East between Main Street and Eveline Street has undergone significant enhancements. Learn more here.
Revitalization efforts have strengthened the area’s historic character while incorporating modern improvements including:
- Upgraded pedestrian and active transportation pathways
- Planters and street trees
- Seasonal patio spaces
- Two pocket parks featuring seating, public art, and activity areas
These improvements are driving renewed interest and investment to support a growing mix of retail, services, restaurants, and residential development. This reinforces the downtown as a focus for continued investment, with growing potential for mixed-use and commercial development.
west end development
Selkirk plans for long-term growth in the West End. This area covers about 670 acres, with the City owning approximately half of the land. This allows for a coordinated and intentional approach to development and long-term planning.
Once complete, the West End will support more than 10,000 residents (nearly doubling Selkirk’s existing population), and over 200,000 square feet of commercial space. This growth will create strong opportunities for retail, services, and local businesses.
The West End Concept Plan follows a series of guiding principles aligned with the City’s long-term strategy and Climate Change Adaptation Strategy. The following objectives have been established:
- Promote development that enhances community health and wellbeing, while minimizing environmental impact, energy use and reliance on non-renewables
- Cultivate innovation and stimulate economic development
- Nurture social adhesion and cultural inclusion
- Protect and enhance natural heritage features
One of the most exciting and innovative features of the West End Concept Plan is the Mixed-Use Village. This concept envisions a pedestrian-oriented, transit-supportive urban village and a dynamic gateway into the West End. It would accommodate a range of land uses, including mid-rise residential development types with dwellings varying in size and tenure. Institutional, retail, commercial, and cultural uses could also provide residents convenient access to a variety of amenities.
This positions the West End as a planned growth area with capacity for significant residential and commercial development.
pittsburg avenue development
The Pittsburg Avenue development area serves as a transition and buffer between heavy industrial and residential land uses. It offers proximity to a major transportation network, utility corridor, and major big box retail development.
The development sits along Pittsburg Avenue between Sophia Street and Main Street in Selkirk. All 13 lots are City-owned and zoned Urban Neighbourhood (UN) and Strip Commercial (C3) under City of Selkirk Zoning Bylaw No. 4968. The site provides access via an asphalt road with the ability to connect to the City’s water and wastewater systems, and all utilities.
The area has direct access to CentrePort Canada, Winnipeg Richardson International Airport, St. Andrews Airport, and the transcontinental Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) line—providing an array of access options to the broader North American market.
Ideal uses include retail and commercial development, such as professional, financial, and office services. Its adjacency to heavy industry and access to key transportation routes may also support warehouse, storage, and distribution facilities.
