The tower was originally known as the Commodity Exchange tower. Although the naming rights expired in 1990, it was not officially renamed to 360 Main until 2010. Throughout this time it has been unofficially known as the Trizec building.

Architecture

Initial announcements of 360 Main St. were that it would be the office component of the larger Winnipeg Square development by Trizec Corporation, comprising a 20-storey office tower for Scotiabank headquarters costing $7.5 million and an underground parkade-office-hotel structure costing $14.8 million.
