The Centre is at the heart of Downtown Winnipeg at a location that has for decades been considered the premiere piece of real estate in Winnipeg.
According to the facility's entertainment-centre design consultant, Don Dethlefs, this is the best urban site he has ever seen for an entertainment centre in North America!
As the former retail heart of downtown, this pivotal location is directly connected to all parts of the city by major transportation arteries and more than 40 transit routes. Parking already exists nearby with over 7,000 spaces available within a five- minute walk, including 2,700 that are indoors and heated.
In addition, the location and design concept enhance the value of the existing investment in our skywalks and recent Portage Avenue streetscaping. Also, it strengthens Portage Place and City Place by increasing pedestrian traffic and enhancing downtown safety.
To provide the experience today's audiences and performers expect, Winnipeg needed this entertainment centre.
