At 25-storeys and 234 units, 300 Assiniboine soars above the avenue’s treeline, paying homage to its local context: the urban park by connecting the high-rise to the neighbouring Bonnycastle Park through a two-storey east-facing glazed lobby and protected, spacious entry plaza. 

Townhouse-style units with front porch access along Assiniboine Avenue further reaffirm residents’ sense of place with the landscape design engaging and activating the street to the immediate park, riverwalk and bicycle path. The team worked extensively with the City of Winnipeg regarding the building's integration with the adjacent park parcels.

Inside, the design incorporates various suite floor plans that offer unique residential experiences. The interior allows spaces to reach out and interact with activity on all sides, featuring amenities such as a fitness facility and fully equipped multipurpose room for entertaining. Additionally, a commercial unit on the main floor (Fête Ice Cream & Coffee) transforms 300 Assiniboine into a destination place as well. 

Contrasting coloured precast finishes highlight the building by day while beacons of light greet commuters on the Maryland and Queen Elizabeth Way Bridges at night, indicating their sense of arrival in Downtown Winnipeg. Finally, when Crystal Properties developed 300 Assiniboine in 2016, it became the first high-rise complex to mark Downtown Winnipeg's skyline in over two decades!
