Man, that's exactly the kind of thing that Corydon needs!

Yeah, different areas have different character, and the decorative features should reflect that. I love the non-SHED/older Graham ones, old Chinatown ones, even red ones from the Forks along Waterfront to the train bridge.

One thing I've noticed a lot travelling around Canada in the last year is that (aside from older Graham lights & Arlington bridge) Winnipeg is like the ONLY place that has some sort of issue with horizontal traffic lights. They often look way better, and tend to actually be more solid/safe in windy areas because there's two mounting points.

Yup, looks great. Full use of the lot, right to the sidewalk, several different finishes to add interest. And they are moving QUICK on this, which would lead me to think they must have a tenant or two lined up already.

414 Graham, aka the Hudson Building has been making quick progress with renos. Pictures, frames and more had moved out, a new facade is going on and 5468794 has their logo on the glass. Anyone have details of the future of this building?

The last thing Graham needs are buildings with offices on the main level.

buzzg · #**6126** Posted **Mar 3, 2018, 5:30 PM**

^Agreed. Hopefully they just did the design.

There's an ad in the Freep's business section today which says that Taylor McCaffrey LLP is moving to 201 Portage this spring. So that'll probably fill at least a couple of floors in there.

Yes. That is not becoming their offices.

I was wondering how long it would take for that to happen!

buzzg · #**6130** Posted **Mar 3, 2018, 9:01 PM**

The office market here is so disjointed. Impact Security is asking $6,000 to lease one floor of their building (above La Carnita/former Fox & Fiddle). GOOD F'IN LUCK!

My friend who's an accountant was looking at space in 201 Portage – they only wanted $3k for half of a floor.

robertocarlos · #**6131** Posted **Mar 3, 2018, 9:37 PM**

Like the landlords in NY, the landlords here would rather see it empty than lower the rent.

Some marketing information about 201 Portage in the announcement about TM.

Currently 9th Fl. - 400 St. Mary Ave., so yes, that's a step up for them.

Will be VERY interesting to see what they do with the main floor. Hopefully more than just cosmetic upgrades...

In late summer They talked about orienting the entrance to portage and Main and creating some retail units On the main level.

Yeah I remember that. What I'm really interested to see is if they integrate the wind walkway [blanking on technical name] into the building, tear it down, leave it, etc.

The parking lot at Lombard and Westbrook (south-east corner) is closing in preparation for redevelopment. No details on exactly what is happening as this just a notice about parking for tenants of the Richardson Building.

Richardson Innovation Centre.

Richardson’s aren’t media types. Not sure if they will ever release an image or if they will just build it.

It’s not a big building but I think you guys will like it. Has a 15’ cantilever if that means anything.
