Winnipeg - Portage Place Shopping Centre

A few blocks further west on Portage Avenue stands the complex of ultra-modern buildings known as Portage Place. Located in this architecturally striking development are numerous shops and offices, several restaurants, three cinemas and an IMAX theatre with a vast screen on which action movies in particular show to spectacular effect.

Portage Place Shopping Center was undertaken in the late 80's as part of a downtown revitalization program by the City of Winnipeg. The wisdom of this project and the mall's viability remains to be seen. For those visiting in the winter, Portage Place Shopping Center boasts of underground heated parking.
