Yeah, these are both factors. It feels like the parking lot canyon along Donald Street has been highly resistant to any kind of substantial development for years, decades even. It gives me hope to see something significant going up along that stretch.

I echo what’s been said. It is a dense residential building filling a downtown surface parking lot with good design and nice materials (it doesn’t look cheap). That combination is very rare in Winnipeg.

We don't get a lot of high rises this size built with brick anymore, especially red brick. It has a warmth and classic appeal to it. Everyone likes the glass TNS buildings, Wawanesa, and I believe most liked the 300 Main tower design. I know we all want more glass towers downtown, but a good brick building thrown into the mix is always welcome.

Didn't have my phone with me for photos, but some pre-cast has now been put in place for what I believe is the main building, as opposed to the parkade.

Cool, thanks. Must be one of the larger precast buildings around.

Was the apartment on Stradbrook all precast. Can't remember what it's called.

yeah, it was....beside the winter club....the difference is that building used the precast as the exterior finish....this one will have brick on top, except for the inset areas on the north and south, which will be precast....unfinished, which could be cool.

most of the side facing place louis riel will also be precast finish.
