Large development on the corner of Portage and Main which attempts to address the city plan by facing down Main Street. At 32 stories, it is the largest in the city, and the tallest in Canada between Toronto and Calgary. In addition to its office use, the building includes an underground shopping mall. The skyscraper was built on top of an existing 40,000 square foot telecommunications center which was kept in operation during construction. Not much more can be said about commercial buildings of this ilk which are intended to be viewed from a distance with little or no detailing to interest the eye close-up.
