Project Description
The North American Headquarters for Wawanesa Mutual Insurance at True North Square, a new mixed-use high-rise tower development with a large outdoor civic plaza in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, creates a physical representation of Wawanesa’s core values and strategic business goals.
With a size of 19 storeys and 300,000 SF, this state-of-the-art office tower will bring together approximately 1,100 Wawanesa employees, fostering a transformative, wellness-focused, and collaborative work environment. Designed with advanced amenities and expansive views, the building emphasizes connectivity, engagement, and sustainability, targeting both LEED Gold Core & Shell Certification and WELL Certification. This development reflects Wawanesa’s dedication to innovation, environmental responsibility, and leadership in the community.
Mulvey & Banani also contributed to the future skywalk project, providing electrical, security, and lighting expertise for a 2,633 SF, 158-foot-long bridge connecting the Wawanesa headquarters to nearby buildings, including 225 Carlton and the Sutton Place Hotel. With a construction budget of approximately $4.84 million, this skywalk will enhance connectivity within the True North Square precinct, integrating seamlessly with the dynamic urban landscape of Winnipeg’s downtown.
