Once complete, 300 Main Street will stand over 40-storeys (142metres) tall, surpassing the office tower at 201 Portage Avenue, the current tallest building that reaches 128 meters in height.
Centrally located in the heart of Winnipeg, 300 Main Street will be a mixed-use apartment building featuring residential apartments over retail and entertainment space at the ground level. The new skyscraper will bring excitement and aesthetic appeal to an area that was once a notoriously difficult to develop.
Taking advantage of innovative construction techniques, the new tower at 300 Main features the use of DELTABEAM – a composite slim floor system for multiple-storey buildings that strengthens framing and enables the use of shallow element structures.The combination of a DELTABEAM system and structural steel columns result in a much lighter structure than other Winnipeg skyscrapers that are cast-in-place. As such, Ironworkers have been able to erect this project safely and swiftly in much less time than it would take to build a concrete structure. This innovative combination of materials also allows 300 Main to easily reach new heights in the city skyline, creating an eye-catching new structure that represents modernization and development of downtown Winnipeg.
