Anyone go? I was between 2:30-3:00. I wanted to do the shuttle, but didn't have time.

As I live near the area, I was particularly interested to hear about those BGBX condos. The architect (didn't catch her name, but she's with 5468796) said the developer expects to be building within a month or two.

That sounds great ... I am looking forward to its opening. I remember the developer said he wanted to bring a piece of New York City to Winnipeg, so I would expect he's go a long way to bring a luxurious feel to the building.

I hope this will spur other highend development to the area, as this could work towards turning the image of downtown.
