112.5 meters = 4387.50 inches = 121.87 feet x's 3 = 365.61 feet to top of solar chimney

96.5 meters = 3763.50 inches = 104.54 feet x's 3 = 313.62 feet to the top of the roof

Hope this helps......

MB Hydro building will definitely be amongst the tallest buildings in Winnipeg - at least for now as I hear there's some other TALL plans for the city.

This will be a very - I mean a very decent building !!

I just love the tubular steel columns !! They are so powerfully giving a strong personnality to this building.

Cool pics everyone. I especially liked that shot from inside the tower crane Qwerty123. That is probably just about the highest vantage point in the city...!

You guys should be starting on the steel work for the solar chimney soon, correct?

I can't wait to see how that turns out. I believe it is supposed to be about 6 storeys tall.

Keep up the good work!
