come on man their a legitimate business

they have had many project built or in the process of being built.. sure they've had instances where the project has not been complete or developed but that was due to certain circumstances..

if they get enough investment from leenders and presales the project will proceed.. these aren't some big scam artist that been goin from city from city scamming people they have been pretty transparent and open about their company and projects they've been involved in. They are active on social media and even have their own webpage.. Clearly theres been lots of interest in the project considering the amount of ppl who have already made down payments.

Do your research my friend. I would love to see a building such as this rise up in our downtown, but based on Fortresses' past practice, they're what you would call sketchy.

bomberjet · #**924** Posted **Oct 20, 2015, 3:12 PM**

Yeah, they're sketchy. But seem there's a legit shot at getting this built. If the residential presales continue on and they get some office tenants. No reason this doesn't go ahead. Those are two big if's, but we'll have to wait it out.

Anyone heard on a sales update for the residential? We were at somewhere between 75 and 100 suites a couple weeks back.

^ its quite a bit north of that....amazing.

bomberjet · #**926** Posted **Oct 20, 2015, 4:31 PM**

That is amazing. Seems like people were holding out on condos until this project finally opened for sales. The original 100 unit ish number was amazing in itself.

Can the even taller and shinier SkyCity Winnipeg phase II be far behind?

BigG · #**929** Posted **Oct 20, 2015, 5:29 PM**

Phase II?

I think you may have actually been thinking about this render it has similarities to what your mentioning but I believe it to be SkyCity Pase III ?

.... +/- % error 5% -- 125 units spoken for..

lilwayne · #**933** Posted **Oct 20, 2015, 7:55 PM**

ya tru whats the exact figures...

so based on this is it safe to presume that this is going to reach its required presale numbers.

Yup. 130ish

Boreal · #**939** Posted **Oct 21, 2015, 2:29 AM**

Well, lets hope it continues. I'm cautiously optimistic. It could be a real interesting project. Obviously it would be seriously impactful on downtown Winnipeg and the Winnipeg skyline for a longggg period of time.

And hopefully this will encourage more such residential projects to the downtown area.
