It was on the walk because it went up Fort, but it does look great and I guess maybe it is permanent then! If only the Richardson lights went up the whole way. They looks cheap and dinky right now.

This is a permanent light fixture. The city of winnipeg released a story last year how they want to see unique LED lighting used more in the downtown. LED lighting is so easy, cheap to run, and diverse.

and with the building being white, its the perfect first canvas!

^Nice! I really liked the blue LED stripe on the MTS building too. It's quite bold and stands out from a distance.

It was blue on Nuit Blanche.

Wow, that looks great! Hopefully it is indeed permanent.

Just the type of thing downtown Winnipeg needs a bit more of!

hopefully something else happens to make those red awnings look less awful. Also the cladding removal on Trizec/360 Main is going at a snail's pace, I never see more than 2 guys working... It's like they forget winter is coming. Has anyone seen the plans for the reno? Any changes to the entrances?

Also Gio's is being renovated and the lease/sale signs are down, anyone heard what's happening? They're moving pretty quickly.

Lotteries will be announcing their location today

trueviking · #**7211** Posted **Sep 29, 2015, 2:00 PM**

^ yup. I know where its going

bomberjet · #**7212** Posted **Sep 29, 2015, 2:05 PM**

True North Square.

drew · #**7213** Posted **Sep 29, 2015, 2:07 PM**

I really don't think it will be much of a surprise. We all pretty much knew how this would turn out.

Riverman · #**7214** Posted **Sep 29, 2015, 2:11 PM**

Much larger crew at the Spaceship today. That thing is starting to grow on me.

Obviously the smiley face insinuates it's going into one of the many existing and wholly appropriate vacancies already burdening downtown

I also like that project. Will be quite the sight when it completed.Is the roof going to be slanted up towards the elevator shaft? I assume it would be since its timber framed. Typical sloped roof truss instead of a flat roof. Will really it make it look like a flying saucer!

Just to clarify for everyone, the work currently being done is only for the base atrium bank area - not the tower. The plan is still in the works for a tower re-clad but not this work.

I thought Gio's was going to be demolished? Has something changed?

Biff · #**7220** Posted **Sep 29, 2015, 4:17 PM**

^^^it is being painted black and having new windows installed as we speak.
