Yup, on 12 now.

You can definitely notice it looming over the horizon when you approach downtown Winnipeg.

The skylight is for the mall below. Not Goodlife. But yes, light may come in from the east side. But when the sun goes to the west side, the east windows will be in shade.

Yup, and the whole roof will be in the shade 9 months a year when the sun isn't directly overhead because of the 40 storey building going up just to the south.

[bomberjet]

yup.

But what about natural light filtering down into the concourse? Windows on the west and east sides of 330 aren't going to help with that. My guess is there aren't windows on the east side of the raised part is because they have left an option to one day add another story or two on the front part of 330...because why else would they put a concrete roof on that part?

^That's it.

Sounds like you nailed it.

Heard a rumor today that the millwork / cabinetry might possibly be outsourced to Chinese sources versus using in province providers.

Sad if true.

There's a bunch of glass up on the inner wall along Main, presumably that will separate GoodLife from the common area/hall connecting 300 & 360.

[dmacc]

I think Goodlife will only take up maybe 1/3 of the 330 floor plate, likely the west portion of the site.

[BuildUpWpg]

I wonder what will go up on the southwest corner. Seems like overkill with the amount of bulky steel there are erecting there.

Ten floors up! Also, if you’ve been in the #winnipegsquare you’ve noticed a large enclosure; meaty escalators being installed within!

I find it hilarious they need to drywall, mud and tape the INSIDE of the construction walls.

[Biff]

Strange the rebar sticking out of the west side of the core. Obviously to tie into more concrete but....

Shear walls will go all the way up, for what one of the forumers previously posted.

Shear walls are starting to take shape

I heard the same thing, but local guys got it, turns out.

But in fairness, these lines get tossed out... local or national guys gotta work to make their cost appealing. Apparently local ponied up big time.

Over half... everything west of the corridor, but that corridor isn't centered.
