That is a general statement and not indicative of Winnipeg. It is the builder or general contractor that influence this. PCL and Bockstael put up towers fairly quickly - TrueNorth Square 1&2, 290 Colony etc.

D-Condo had an in-experienced developer for high-rises, 300 Main has been a comedy of errors, Glasshouse contractor went out of business. Toronto has many more large scale builders with many towers of experience behind them.
