Winnipeg’s tallest building to welcome first tenants this spring – Winnipeg | The Canadian News

Winnipeg’s skyline looks a little different this week as a large crane that worked on the city’s tallest building came down, meaning construction is almost complete.

Jeff Lutkin of Artis Reit, owners of 300 Main St., told 680 CJOB the first tenants should be able to call the 42-story building home in just a few months.

“We’re shifting gears more to the interior,” Lutkin said.

“We do have a spring completion date for at least the first phase, which would be the foyer to the 20th floor.”

The building – which, when completed, will include more than 300 rental units, a 40th-floor terrace overlooking the city, and the iconic Main Street Earl’s restaurant that moves into its foyer – will hopefully be part of ‘ a new renaissance for the city center as the COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end, Lutkin said.

“People are looking for nicer places to work from home,” he said.

“And I think 300 Main can offer that. Hopefully, as we watch the pandemic move out, we can see a sense of community begin to build.
