^ If those two lots filled up with something at least 15 storeys tall, then that strip of Graham from Main to Edmonton would easily be Winnipeg's most legit urban canyon.

Won't be seeing more steel until May. Once it starts coming though it should go up quick.

Supposed to be an escalator going down to the square in that spot, with skylight above (where the roof of 330 is raised a bit).

Oooh, cool. Thanks for the info!

I saw that but couldn't figure out how they'd handle the ground floor of GL.

That's cool, seems like it'd take a big chunk of the GL area, right in the middle though. And I guess that means there will be some sort of lobby area on the main floor... very curious to see how they lay out GoodLife as with those things taking up space, doesn't seem like a very large location for GL, being on one floor. Seems especially odd considering the main reason GL wants out of 201 is because it's too small and the wraparound layout is awful for a gym.

The middle section makes quite a difference on the streetscape along Main Street, but somehow it is barely even noticeable along Fort.

It doesn't go all the way to Fort, only half the width of the block.

Core was jacked up again yesterday.

The Jabroni · #**3490** Posted **Mar 23, 2019, 6:55 PM**

Looks like the crane is extending upwards today too.

roccerfeller · #**3491** Posted **Mar 23, 2019, 7:03 PM**

Looking forward to how tall it's going to be in another few months

Isn't the crane feeling nice? Someone posted a shot that showed all 3 downtown cranes in the same view which was cool

We'll see a few more for TNS towers 3 and 4 too

330 has gone up remarkably fast. Crazy they're already like halfway through closing it in.

Pretty sure goodlife is just along the front side on Main St. This is behind goodlife.

bomberjet · #**3495** Posted **Mar 25, 2019, 3:27 PM**

I can confirm the crane was raised. Much more visible over the other buildings now.

Biff · #**3496** Posted **Mar 25, 2019, 4:04 PM**

Core appears to be at approximately floor 7.

300 is only half the block, 330 goes all the way to Fort

buzzg · #**3498** Posted **Mar 26, 2019, 1:53 AM**

Oh right, when 330 was still going to be 3-4 floors, those additional ones were only on the east half.

They've been tearing down some of the concrete wall/planters on the sidewalk/loading loop. The renders didn't really detail these areas much, curious to see how it turns out. I'd like to see the loop feel a little more "open" to the sidewalk. I'd also sacrifice the planters along Main for more sidewalk space, as that's a really busy bus stop and the sidewalk is tiny. Nowhere to hide from getting splashed by mud puddles lol.

There is still a skylight that will be visible from the concourse!

It was never part of the GL area I don't think, always public.

GL is only taking the back portion (about 75% I think) of 330, but obviously gets signage/exposure and entrance from the front. Front portion is CRU space along the parking look. A hallway dividing CRUs and GL will connect 300 to 330 and eventually 360 through that old archway in the 360 lobby

Really? Obviously there is little street interaction back there, but considering that the main floor is quite high relative to the street, and that 330 is quite tall, it looks like almost 2-3 stories tall back there when I drive by.

Nope, they take the back 3/4 of 330.
