unbuilt winnipeg

[esquire]

^ Blast from the past... I remember that one from around 2007 or so next to St. Mary's Cathedral. Feels like something has been on the verge of happening on that site for a long time now.

vike's Wawanesa HQ is a beauty. It would have been shorter than the TNS version that's under construction but I think it would have packed way more urbanism punch by completely changing the feel of a very prominent downtown intersection. It would have resulted in a bit of an awkward mismatch with the original Wawanesa building, but I suppose it could always have been reclad.

That restaurant is something else, it would have been hilarious to have a little piece of Polo Park out there on the Trans Canada.

I remember poring over those CMHR renderings when they were released. They were the subject of extensive debate on this forum! I feel like the Predock proposal was chosen mainly for its sheer height.
