Posted on 01/31/2023
Cadillac Fairview along with its partner Shindico Realty Inc. created a master plan for CF Polo Park. The project includes the redevelopment of the former Canad Inns Stadium lands to create a new and engagingcommunity hub in Winnipeg. Cadillac Fairview and Shindico have collaborated on a renewed Master Plan vision for CF Polo Park and the surrounding lands bounded by Portage Avenue, St. James Street, St. Matthews Avenue, and Empress Street. The Polo Park lands encompass 84 acres, including the vacant former Canad Inns Stadium, and the Master Plan vision will create a complete community including a mix of residential, amenity and retail uses, a range of new parks, open spaces, a combination of private and public streets, as well as pedestrian and cycling connections centred around CF Polo Park, the largest shopping centre in Manitoba.
The first phase of the Master Plan redevelopment will commence on the former Stadium Lands. Cadillac Fairview and Shindico acquired the site over a decade ago and began engaging with stakeholders on the vision in 2018. CF Polo Park was built in 1959 and is considered the first enclosed shopping centre in Canada.
Sandy G. Shindleman runs Shindico as president. Shindico’s origins began in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba where the company’s President, Sandy Shindleman, and Vice President, Robert Shindleman were raised. Cadillac Fairview is Wholly owned by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan.
