The project will be getting a TIFF....so there will be lots of government money...It is not possible to build residential in downtown Winnipeg without a subsidy...hopefully the forks commands higher pay back than elsewhere to level the playing field somewhat....still a significant challenge I suspect, once the rubber hits the road.

You can definitely build downtown without government money. I can't imagine using those cheap "economic" materials in this area. This isn't Transcona, it is downtown, the heart of the city.
