Is there a economic possibility that would allow for this to work? Interesting though we will have to wait and see lol

If that can come to fruition, It would be a positive effect for downtown and The Cityscape/skyline

Yes 300 Main is 42 storeys I believe. A 50 storey building would make a definite impact. Plus, there's something cool about saying "50 storeys".

That st. regis rendering that popped up here a few pages back looks to be right around 50 storeys.

Id much prefer something completely new and out of left field.. but the gossip in itself is exciting.

Well this is a pleasant surprise for a Friday evening. The location could be one of those large parking lots on the east side of Main St between Broadway and Portage.

If there was a bet between who has a better shot at winning the Stanley Cup this year between the Jets and the Leafs, Jets hands down!

I absolutely concur with you that the 50+ floor towers is erected much before Sutton Place. Perhaps Sutton will be ready for Winnipeg's 175th Birthday?

Could my dreams be coming true? Could it be the one? Might all of my hard work and persistence finally be paying off? Did enough people see it and say “for fuck’s sake, someone just build that damn building and shut that asshole up once and for all”

I drove past Buffalo Crossing on McGillivary. Looks like it is over 90% completed. I hope it is ready by April. I will try and snap some photos this weekend.

TV, do you think its the St regis site proposal, or something entirely different?

Side note. I was driving north across the Osborne bridge and the colony development has a really nice impact on that part of the skyline. Looks great when coming from the north as well. That thing flew up super quick.

I like how they kept the "Capri" name. And the the old satellite dish was finally removed.
