34 loft-style rental units in the historic Porter Building in the East Exchange District.
34 brand new purpose built rental units in the heart of Winnipeg's vibrant downtown community, only steps away from many of the major landmarks and attractions the city has to offer.
The Porter Building
Presiding over the striking core of the commercial district east of Main Street, The Porter House is a landmarked architectural paragon and a quintessential symbol of an era, an era long gone and fondly remembered. Commissioned in 1906 for James Porter and Company, a specialized importer and seller of crockery and china, the building is a Chicago style influenced stately brick and beam warehouse. Upon completion, the new Porter warehouse was described in the Free Press as “one of the handsomest business blocks in the city”. The opulent exterior provides a perfect contrast to the clean lines and contemporary look of the loft style interiors that are accented with century old features. The Porter House redevelopment will embrace the past while looking to the future.
Neighborhood
The Porter House is situated amongst the ultimate landscape of society, culture and commerce. Much of Winnipeg’s iconography was born in this neighbourhood. Now undergoing a concerted revival, the Exchange District is now the place to live in Winnipeg. Trendsetting shops, bars and restaurants abound; the new waterfront park and new streetscapes are improving the public realm; and the close proximity to Winnipeg’s office buildings means you can walk to work. Witness the transformation of Winnipeg’s most prized gem – the Exchange District - first hand.
The Porter House features a Google Walk Score of 95 and a Transit Score of 92 making it one of the most ideal and convenient locations for urban living.
