Crazy that the largest building under construction in San Francisco is less than 30m taller than ours and somehow has fewer floors. Northern California is fuuucked lmao.
About
BIPV In Action! Join the Mitrex team for an exclusive LinkedIn Live tour of the High-Rise Net Zero building: 308 Colony St. in Winnipeg that’s redefining sustainable urban design.
Designed to achieve net-zero carbon performance, this landmark project integrates Mitrex’s Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) façade system to generate clean energy directly from the building envelope. The tour will highlight how energy-generating architecture is transforming high-rise design—balancing functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.
Following the virtual walkthrough, our team will host a live Q&A to answer your questions about BIPV integration, performance, and its role in decarbonizing urban housing.
What happened to make this block so dense so fast? It went from a couple barely 2 story commercial buildings and a big ol' Winnipeg surface lot to looking like Seoul in less than 10 years. Is it just the effect of this block being zoned as downtown multi-use?

All 4 developments were built and owned by the University of Winnipeg through the University of Winnipeg Community Renewal Corporation (UWCRC) and their sister organization UWCRC 2.0 Inc.
The first residents have started moving in today. I believe there will be a press release in the coming weeks to officially mark the completion of the building.
