Modern Living in Fort Richmond: Introducing 65 Kirkbridge Drive
Fort Richmond is getting something it hasn’t seen in a while: a brand-new, purpose-built rental community designed for how people live today. Rising seven storeys just off Pembina Highway, 65 Kirkbridge Drive brings modern suites, practical amenities, and a location that keeps work, school, and everyday errands close to home—right in Winnipeg’s Fort Richmond community.
Opening for move-ins starting June 1, 2026, this Thorwin Properties community is set to become a new go-to address in South Winnipeg for people who want to live, work, and stay rooted in the neighbourhood they love.
A Connected, Community-Focused Neighbourhood
65 Kirkbridge Drive is a 78-suite apartment community in the heart of Fort Richmond, part of the broader Fort Rouge community in South Winnipeg. It’s built for people who already live, study, or work in the area—and for those who want to join a community instead of starting over somewhere completely new.
From here, residents are just minutes from:
- University of Manitoba – ideal for students, faculty, and staff
- Victoria General Hospital – a short commute for healthcare workers
- Princess Auto Stadium – for CFL games and concerts
- Pembina Highway transit and rapid transit – easy access to downtown and across the city
- Shopping and services – nearby malls, grocery stores, pharmacies, banks, and cafés
Turn off Pembina and things get quieter and more residential, with schools, parks, and green spaces close by. It’s the mix many renters want: urban convenience with a lived-in community feel, where you’re likely to recognize faces at the bus stop, the grocery store, or the local café.
For current Fort Rouge / Fort Richmond residents, 65 Kirkbridge offers a way to upgrade to a brand-new home without leaving the area. For newcomers, it’s a chance to plug into an established neighbourhood that already feels like a community.
Suites Designed for Everyday Life
The floor plans at 65 Kirkbridge were drawn with real renters in mind—not just pretty brochures. The building offers a mix of:
- 1-bedroom / 1-bathroom suites
- 2-bedroom / 1-bathroom suites
- 2-bedroom / 2-bathroom suites
Suites range from efficient one-bedrooms to comfortable two-bedrooms, roughly 535 to 875 square feet. Layouts focus on open living areas, smart storage, and flexible spaces that work for studying, remote work, or relaxing at the end of the day.
Every suite includes:
- In-suite washer and dryer – no more shared laundry rooms
- LG stainless steel kitchen appliances – fridge, range, dishwasher, and microwave
- Quartz countertops and modern cabinetry
- Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout – stylish, durable, and pet-friendly
- Juliet or full-size private balconies in select suites
It’s the kind of place that feels move-in ready from day one—without extra trips to the hardware store.
Built-in value: internet and water included
Extra monthly costs can add up fast. At 65 Kirkbridge, Thorwin has bundled key essentials into the rent to make budgeting simpler.
Residents benefit from:
- High-speed internet included
- Water included
Fewer separate accounts, fewer surprises, and a clearer picture of your actual monthly cost. Combine that with brand-new appliances, finishes, and building systems, and the value becomes even more compelling compared to older buildings in the area.
Amenities that Fit your Routine
Instead of flashy features that look good on paper and never get used, 65 Kirkbridge focuses on everyday practicality. Residents will have access to:
- Fully equipped fitness facility
- Secure bike storage
- Indoor and outdoor parking options
The building is being designed for secure entry and easy circulation, creating a comfortable environment for residents coming and going at all hours—especially students and healthcare staff on rotating shifts.
Pet-friendly, without Extra Barriers
For many renters, the first question is, “Can I bring my pet?”
At 65 Kirkbridge, the answer is yes. The building is pet-friendly for cats and dogs, and in keeping with Thorwin’s portfolio-wide approach, no pet deposit is required.
Nearby parks and trails make daily walks easier for dog owners, while durable flooring and modern finishes help suites stand up to everyday life with pets.
A Thorwin Community
Thorwin Properties has built a strong presence in Winnipeg by focusing on well-managed, well-presented rental communities across the city. 65 Kirkbridge continues that approach with:
- Clear, straightforward information for prospective renters
- A focus on clean, modern, well-maintained buildings
- A resident-first mindset that treats each suite as someone’s home—not just a unit on a rent roll
From pre-leasing through move-in and beyond, the goal is to keep the process calm, transparent, and well-supported, so residents feel at home in both the building and the Fort Rouge community around it.
Pre-leasing for units starts in January 2026

Renters looking for a brand-new, pet-friendly apartment in the Fort Rouge / Fort Richmond area—with in-suite laundry, modern finishes, and high-speed internet included—will want this community on their shortlist.
