^Agreed. It's such a waste of prime space.

I think brown goes with blue very well depending on the shades.

All that extra room could be integrated into a more grand vision for P+M

No thanks. There is already enough empty dead space at P&M. I'd like to keep what buildings we have there.

I agree with Esquire. Ideally it will be recladded, but if not, no big deal really, just get those damn concrete barriers down.

^Anyone know if the corner caps are being replaced after or left brown? Honestly doesn't look too bad with the brown if it is staying that way (at least in the picture).

Urban recluse · #**787** Posted **Aug 12, 2016, 2:10 AM**

Please God no, they look hideous.

Lol, definitely getting replaced. Renderings show nice, clean corners. Probably thermal/weatherproofing reasons why it's not done now.

I know it's Winnipeg and we cheap out at weird times

but not on those corners.

Urban recluse · #**789** Posted **Aug 12, 2016, 10:25 PM**

Did we determine why some of the panels are black? Me no likey.

I'm in pre-gaming prep mode, I know what the hell am I doing on a friday night having a few beer and posting

but..

Take a look at that photo ( nice pixel quality TV). That weather stripping on the corners is immaculate/new and the color of the corners changes dramatically from old weathered wheat color to a new fresh colored wheat tone before the movable scaffolding. I could be totally off on this but why would they go to the trouble of this process only to remove it later?

hmmm. likely wrong, I actually hope so..

It's just an effect of that photo. I took a look this morning and the corners are exactly as faded and dirty from top to bottom.

Oh? Perfect then: they stay. Hahaha

update

So excited to see this building finally getting a re-clad. I moved to Vancouver a few years ago and it's always interesting to see the changes the city has made since then. Can't wait to see it in person!

Urban recluse · #**797** Posted **Aug 21, 2016, 1:49 AM**

I would love to see a project in Winnipeg such as the Stock exchange tower development in Vancouver.

Absolutely. If we can find someone to get it built.
It should go where The proposed WESTIN was to go 416 Main Street

Urban recluse · #**799** Posted **Aug 23, 2016, 2:57 AM**

The Peck Building would be a great candidate.

buzzg · #**800** Posted **Aug 23, 2016, 5:50 AM**

The Peck Building situation is so sad. It's so awesome but sadly the scientologists are not going to do anything with it or let it go for a long, long time. The painted signs on the side are so prominent from Portage & Smith it'd be cool to see a company currently in the area use the wall for new (painted) ad space.
