  "account": "A new apartment building called Market Lands South is set to open in downtown Winnipeg, marking the site's transformation from the city's original public market in the 1800s to its use as police headquarters. The $58.5-million, nine-storey structure, located between city hall and RRC Polytech's Exchange District campus, features 95 mixed-income units: 48 with subsidized rents and 47 at market or premium rates. Tenants are set to begin moving in this month, with monthly rents ranging from $285 for a studio or one-bedroom unit to $387 for a two-bedroom apartment. The building's developer and manager, Jeremy Read, believes the mixed-income model is a success and will give residents the opportunity to live in an apartment regardless of their socioeconomic status. Housing, Addictions and Homelessness Minister Bernadette Smith noted that the development will make housing more accessible and inclusive. The first phase of a larger project, Market Lands South is the first residential mid-rise building in Canada to receive the Canada Green Building Council's zero carbon building design standard, promising lower energy costs for tenants.",
