And that height difference is exaggerated because the tiny mechanical penthouse at the top of 55 Nassau pushes that difference up by almost a third. If you were somehow able to put the two buildings side by side, they would probably look nearly identical, with 55 Nassau visibly taller but only by a hair.

55 Nassau must be an amazing place to live, though... the suites in the 30+ storey range of that building probably have some of the best views in the city.
55 is only 358 feet tall. Not sure what TNS 1 and 2 are. And what 360 main will be. But tnere is a notable height difference. 55 also does habe very low ceilings. My uncle lifes on the 28th floor facing downtown. Awesome veiw

Whoooa! Haha thanks so much!

That's a huge billboard. And the steel columns go all the way over to the Fort side. Great news. It's a bit hard to tell from some of the renderings what exactly is going on for 330 main.

I'll settle for 10 am then... I don't want to have to explain to my wife why I'm paying for pictures on the internet

But seriously, thanks for posting them!

Strange, I don't think I have ever missed pictures here before. I can see them by going mobile (thanks bomberjet). Sheesh, I missed 2 pictures and all of 330 is complete!!!

I can't see anything from Instagram on the work computer. So have to go mobile to see all the fancy pictures. Linking videos on SSP also does not work on the PC for some reason. Even though I can click the link and see them.

Anyways, where did the huge billboard go? I can't see it on the LES.net video feeds.

Pretty sure it's laying back down.

^ I wonder where they're going to put that billboard? It looks huge, like 2 storeys tall. Seems to me that it would only get in the way?!

My assumption is its part of some construction fencing surrounding the site?

My guess on the sign is that it will form the skirting for the jump form apparatus (i was wrong before in saying Slip Form). There should be 4 of them normally around 3 storeys tall.

I apologize if this has already been discussed/answered, but I saw someone post on reddit a while ago that Artis was planning on selling 300 or 360 Main Street in Winnipeg. I read the transcript from their most recent call, and although I did see that they were selling some assets, I haven't been able to find anything concrete on either 300 or 360 Main Street in Winnipeg.

In one of their investor presentations, where they talk about selling off assets there is a picture of the Winnipeg building - but I didn't see an actual mention of it.

Can anyone confirm this?

*edit*

I found it in the msot recent investor presentation:

300 Main: Non Core asset. Artis owns no other residential real estate and value can be realized by selling all or a portion of such densification projects where zoning and entitlements are in place.

Yes, that very thing was mentioned in here. Sourced from the same material you shared.
