Yep, and it will be renamed the Dump House, from the Pump House.

oh wait.........it is already the Dump House. (Took them 15 years to make it that way of bungling)

Congrats are in order for Centre Venture........give them the Order of Canada.

Anyone familiar or involved with the Maltese Cross Building at 66 King St.?
I may have missed any previous updates if mentioned already.
Potential Office/Retail develpment plans in the works or any news?

I suspect it is probably indefinitely on hold as it was supposed to be developed by the same guys who own the IKON building on Main St. which unfortunately has been quite the debacle for them.

This building is a pharmacy on the main floor and apartments and studios above. That air conditioner leaks on me every time I leave work.

Thanks for the info. Doesn't appear the furnished offices concept panned out for Buleziuk, although most of the space does seem leased/rented out at this point.

I walked down Albert today... what a sorry shambles that street has become.

-All the old Jorgenson buildings appear vacant or sorely underused including one which should be an Exchange District hub, the Royal Albert

-the shameful demolition by neglect of the St. Charles is being permitted to continue unabated

-no prospect of anything happening on the site where the Albert St. Business Block stood before burning down a couple of years ago

-zero tenants in any of the 201 Portage Parkade spaces on the main floor that were vacated when GoodLife replaced the gym which formerly occupied that space

-Mondragon space still empty

Yeesh. Albert has a built environment that is unrivalled in Winnipeg and is one of the best in all of Canada. Yet over the past 5 or 6 years it went from being on the upswing to becoming a complete embarrassment.

Mondragon is getting a wine bar - from the same owner as Deer and Almond and Maw's. Not Hitzer; the real owner.

Sounds like quite a bourgeois new direction for the venerable old collective

You know, that that you lay it out in a step by step breakdown, (save Mondragon, good to see), it is rather sad to here. It was one of my favourite streets in the west exchange.

The old mondragon space is being turned into a wine bar run by the brother of the owners of deer + almond from what people i know from the buildig were telling me
