Some have said it is a game changer for Downtown Winnipeg. One thing is certain—True North Square is the first privately developed Class-A office concept to be built in Winnipeg in three decades. It has already won two awards for environmental and construction design, and it is changing the way Winnipeggers see their downtown. The concept, once complete, is meant to create another exciting space in the city with 1.5 million sq. ft. of office, hotel, residential, retail, parking and public plaza space across five towers. It is an attractive vision to sell to outside investors, young professionals and newcomers to our city. The first tower and public plaza opened in summer 2018, attracting lead tenants Thompson Dorfman Sweatman and Scotiabank, as well as MNP and Ceridian later in 2019. The second tower opened to homeowners in July 2019, giving a bump to our downtown population and vibrancy with a 194-suite tower. Buzz continued to grow around the Hargrave St. Market, which opened in December 2019 and it did not disappoint. The elevated food hall concept built on Winnipeg's already lively culinary culture, provides people another dining option before or after events in our sports, hospitality and entertainment district (S.H.E.D). As development continues on Sutton Place Hotel and Residences, and the North American headquarters for Manitoba-made company, Wawanesa, we will have another reason for people, businesses and industry to choose Winnipeg.
