A new chapter for community living
Portage la Prairie is on the cusp of an exciting new era in residential living with the upcoming opening of Portage Commons, a purpose-built rental community by Kenmare.
The Winnipeg-based developer and management company is known for its innovative approach to real estate development and design/build contracting. With a commitment to quality and community, their projects across Western Canada are shaping the future of housing.
Kenmare’s newest project, Portage Commons, will be located at 1525 Saskatchewan Avenue in Portage. This brand-new development will feature 54 thoughtfully designed residential suites and a select number of commercial units, setting a new standard for modern living in the Central Plains region.
Built for the way you live
From professionals and tradespeople to those looking to downsize in comfort, Portage Commons offers a fresh housing option tailored to contemporary needs. "We chose this site because it's right in the middle of everything – close to retail, restaurants, and a quick drive from the health centre," says Deanna Migalski of Kenmare Management.
The suite mix includes studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, with features that blend style and practicality. Expect sleek finishes, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, stainless steel appliances, in-suite laundry, and private balconies. Residents will also enjoy pet-friendly living and easy accessibility, including an elevator.
Smart design, strategic growth
Portage Commons isn't just about housing – it's about community investment. "This is one of the first new mixed-use builds in Portage in a long time," Migalski explains. "It's a strategic move for economic growth and sustainability that benefits everyone in the community."
With up to five commercial spaces planned, the development also brings new opportunities for local businesses to thrive alongside residents. Parking is well accommodated with both covered and uncovered at the rear of the building.
Now leasing for 2026 move-in
Suites at Portage Commons are now available for lease, with move-in dates beginning mid-March 2026. Prospective tenants can apply online, by email, or by contacting the leasing team directly. “We’re welcoming inquiries now, with in-person tours starting this September for those who want to see the space firsthand,” says Migalski. In the meantime, visitors can explore interactive 3D renderings of the fully furnished suites on the website.
As an added incentive, you’ll get free parking for 12 months when you sign your lease before September 1st, for a savings of $900.
