22 TH E WINNIPEG INVE STOR Number of towers Ground breaking "With 242 Hargrave complete and 225 Carlton at its final height, we are now able to see the impact that this development will have on the skyline and landscape of Winnipeg. True North Square is significant in its design, scale, and architectural detail and we are proud to be a part of reshaping our downtown." Jim Ludlow, President, True North Real Estate Development Although still a relatively new addition to Winnipeg's skyline, True North Square has instantly become one of the downtown's recognizable landmarks. With the first tower having opened in July 2018, more is on the way for the iconic mixed-use plaza that will help redefine Winnipeg's downtown area. The largest privately funded real estate development project in Winnipeg's history, True North Square will eventually be comprised of four separate towers. In addition to the already-opened 17-storey commercial and retail space at 242 Hargrave, a second tower at 225 Carlton is set to open with a mixed-use residential, office, and retail space through 25 storeys. Leasing of the 194 high-end rental suites in 225 Carlton will begin in the fall of 2018, with move-ins beginning in spring 2019. The final two towers, which will include a five-star Sutton Place Hotel and residential component, are intended for completion in 2021. Together, these four towers will include over a million square feet of new real estate, and will be home to over 3,000 people living and working at True North Square. A centrepiece of True North Square's development is its outdoor central plaza, which includes natural vegetation and fountains, all while providing a new gathering space for downtown residents and employees. The plaza has been designed to maximize sunlight, while providing protection from the wind – providing a comfortable and elegant meeting and gathering space that everyone can enjoy. Winnipeg's downtown is being forever changed with the addition of True North Square. Just steps away from Bell MTS Place as well as a host of restaurants and retails outlets, this new complex will bring reinvigorated life to the downtown area.
