How Winnipeg's Tall Buildings Grew
Winnipeg's history of tall buildings began a long time ago. Some of the first towers were the Union Bank Tower (built in 1904), the National Bank Building (1911), and the Hotel Fort Garry (1913). For many years, buildings in the city stayed fairly short.
Then, in the late 1960s, Winnipeg saw its first "skyscraper boom." This means many very tall buildings were constructed. The Richardson Building, Holiday Towers, and Grain Exchange Tower were all built during this time.
From 1980 to 1990, even more skyscrapers and high-rise buildings went up. Many of the city's office towers, like Canwest Place and the Evergreen Place towers, were finished then. After this busy time, there was a quiet period for about 20 years.
However, Winnipeg has seen another, smaller building boom since the late 2000s. The newest tall building to be finished in Winnipeg is 300 Main Street, which opened in 2023. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights, which opened in 2014, is also 100 metres (328 feet) tall. In March 2021, 300 Main became Winnipeg's tallest building while it was still being built. It took over the top spot from 201 Portage.
