On one hand, Winnipeg deserved a new tallest and it's nice to see it finally get one. On the other hand, this building looks terrible, up there with the worst that Toronto and Vancouver have to offer. Poor materials, ugly balconies, an utterly graceless blob... It's quite the blight on Winnipeg's skyline, and as lame of a city's tallest building as any in North America.

At least it’s better than the Radisson.

CTV Excerpt

One of the newest additions to Winnipeg's downtown skyline is claiming the title of the tallest building between Toronto and Calgary.

Though the building is still under construction, it has already taken the top spot among the city's tallest towers.

Once completed, the $165 million mixed-use goliath at 300 Main will stand 142 metres tall. Peikko, one of the companies involved in the project, said the 42-storey skyscraper will not only be the tallest building in Winnipeg – it will be the tallest building between Toronto and Calgary.

300 Main Street – Will Soon Be The Tallest Building In Winnipeg, Manitoba-A Tribute To Our Steel Ironworkers!
Canadian Institute of Steel Construction News Release Excerpt
Apr 13, 2021

Once complete, 300 Main Street will stand over 40-storeys (142metres) tall, surpassing the office tower at 201 Portage Avenue, the current tallest building that reaches 128 meters in height.
Centrally located in the heart of Winnipeg, 300 Main Street will be a mixed-use apartment building featuring residential apartments over retail and entertainment space at the ground level. The new skyscraper will bring excitement and aesthetic appeal to an area that was once a notoriously difficult to develop.

Taking advantage of innovative construction techniques, the new tower at 300 Main features the use of DELTABEAM – a composite slim floor system for multiple-storey buildings that strengthens framing and enables the use of shallow element structures.The combination of a DELTABEAM system and structural steel columns result in a much lighter structure than other Winnipeg skyscrapers that are cast-in-place. As such, Ironworkers have been able to erect this project safely and swiftly in much less time than it would take to build a concrete structure. This innovative combination of materials also allows 300 Main to easily reach new heights in the city skyline, creating an eye-catching new structure that represents modernization and development of downtown Winnipeg.

Thats a bit of an exagerration.

Most towers in Toronto use cheap window wall with back painted spandrel criss crossed by clashing aluminum mullions.

This tower employs a nice curtainwall system and the podium is more creative and inviting than the typical flat wall of glass

The only issue with this tower, in my opinion, is the awkward balcony scheme.
