TheBend Headline

They warp, wrap-around, casting us into moments we couldn’t write alongside faces we wouldn’t have found. This is the brilliance of a bend.

The Exchange District has been the heart of Winnipeg since our city was founded. Arts, culture and community come together to come alive. Steps from the Red River, this is where you’ll find beautiful things to hear, see, taste and now, with the opening of The Bend, a beautiful place to live.

However long we stay here it won’t be forever. A hundred years ago, careful hands laid these bricks. However long we stay here it won't be forever. A hundred years ago, careful hands laid these bricks.

BUILDING

A blend of Winnipeg’s historic original brick and modern styling from architects 5468796 creates a fusion at the cutting edge, or perhaps evolving bend, of Winnipeg’s unique identity. Expect exposed beams, hard-bitten concrete, and modern styling, while staying in touch with the city’s roots through the original brick and historic location. A treed courtyard, rooftop patio, lounge, and proximity to the Red River mean that nature is never far.

  • Restored 16,000 sq. ft. heritage building
  • Exposed concrete beams, original brick, and wood staircases

But for now, our stories have spilled out onto these banks, this place, these people. But for now, our stories have spilled out onto these banks, this place, these people.
