Winnipeg law firm to be anchor tenant at True North Square
By: Bartley Kives
Thompson Dorfman Sweatman LLP plans to move from Portage and Main into True North Square, the $400-million mixed-use project planned for the south side of Graham Avenue.
The 129-year-old law firm, one of Winnipeg’s largest, is slated to become an anchor tenant in a three-building complex True North Developments plans for a pair of vacant lots on either side of Carlton Street.
Later this week, True North is expected to unveil more details of its plan, which includes the construction of a 19-storey office-and-retail tower on a former Manitoba Public Insurance-owned surface-parking lot at 225 Carlton St., a 28-storey hotel-and-residential tower on the same parcel of land and a nine-storey office building at the former Carlton Inn site to the west, at 220 Carlton St. All three structures are expected to be connected by skywalks, creating another weather-protected link between cityplace and RBC Convention Centre.
Last week, Sutton Place was identified as the hotel brand that will occupy 21 floors of the hotel-residential tower and fulfil the RBC Convention Centre’s need for more nearby rooms. True North spokesman Scott Brown said he would not comment on the Thompson Dorfman Sweatman tenancy, though for weeks, sources have identified “one of the city’s largest law firms” an an anchor tenant in True North Square’s office tower.
