ABSTRACT

In 2009, the 115-meter tall, 22-storey Manitoba Hydro Office Tower was completed in Winnipeg, Canada and was immediately heralded as one of the most sustainable buildings not only in North America but indeed the world. The unique story of how the building came to be is presented in this chapter by the owner/developers of the building. It gives a valuable insight into a client’s perspective on developing a tall building according to a particular agenda.
