At 117 metres and 31 floors, this tower decimates the surrounding streetscapes, rendering them souless at street level. Even the attempt at a shopping mall underneath the building and the remainder of the site does little to repair what was lost in building upwards. Unfortuneately another example of a building that looks better at night. Aalso known as Winnipeg Square, or Trizec Building.
