There’s a certain weight to standing inside a building that’s seen over a century of change.
Yesterday morning, Danny spoke with CJOB about the transformation happening at 235 Notre Dame Ave. Built in 1913 and sitting abandoned since 2008, this space has quietly held over a century of Winnipeg’s history.
Now it’s our turn, together, to decide what comes next.
Because projects like this aren’t just about construction, they’re about collaboration. With the support of CentreVenture, we’re not just restoring a building, we’re working together to shape something meaningful for the future of downtown.
What history do we preserve? What do we reimagine? And how do we create something that serves the future without losing the past?
We see every mark, every layer, every imperfection as part of the story. Not something to cover up, but something to carry forward.
Downtown Winnipeg is evolving. The question is, how should it evolve?
After sitting untouched for over 15 years… what do you think this space will mean to downtown once it’s complete?
