f-BLOK has completed several feasibility test-fits and pre-lease studies for Launch Coworking, resulting in the development of three locations: Launch-Southside at 1460 Chevrier, Launch-Exchange at 167 Lombard, and Launch-Downtown at 185 Carlton in Winnipeg.

The retrofit completed at the Launch Exchange location had numerous considerations to be worked through during the design process, as the location is in a 10-storey, grade II heritage building constructed in 1906. Not only does the completed interior space serve as a hot spot for business, collaboration, and networking events, it also has been showcased by film makers who feature the modern office program and open collaboration space as their set.

The Launch Downtown location provides a flexible coworking environment within Winnipeg’s core, connected directly to the city’s indoor walkway system and surrounded by restaurants, hotels, and entertainment amenities. The completed space supports a wide range of users with day passes, private offices, and meeting rooms, complemented by modern features such as high-speed WiFi, whiteboard walls, and shared kitchen and lounge areas. Designed for collaboration, productivity, and growth, the adaptable environment brings together individuals and small teams in a bright, professional setting.
