2024-25 General Dallas Stars Talk

[starsfan86]

Everything I see the Stars business is in a very healthy position and will spend big. As for Northland and Tom Gaglardi.. not 100% sure. They still haven't started construction here in Winnipeg of the Sutton Place Hotel that was announced back in like 2013 while three office towers and apartment towers have gone up around it.

They were also building a new hotel by the airport and it took an insane time to complete. Not sure what the business model is exactly, but there was some speculation they self finance everything and refuse to take debt but then projects are slow AF.

Hmm.. Maybe it’s because Winnipeg sucks and focused on other projects lol.

I donno, taking 6 years to build a hotel is an insane timeline. You can follow it on Google Maps since it is so slow.

Let's just say they aren't the quickest developers or construction crew around.

I wonder if there’s anyway to find out if it’s like this with all of their developments.

I mean.. remember when they bought the Texas Stars and said they would develop the land around the arena? I don't think a single thing has been built lol

Northland still worth 8 B as of today so that’s good lol

Yeah they are still a strong business, I have just noticed a trend of them over promising a lot of stuff over the years now. Lots of talk but not as much action and getting shit done basically.

No one brags about being from Winnipeg. I think I mentioned it a few times over the years though.

I didn't grow up here so I wouldn't say I'm from Winnipeg, it's more of a necessary domicile until I retire in the Maldives
