Well if you wanna fill that void there’s a brown van selling novelty towels with skulls and wolves etc. on them by the Mr. Sub on 16th.

I drive by that guy all the time....and I generally approve, apart from the suspiciously large amount of Oilers paraphernalia.

Btw, I love that Mr Sub building. Hope we can save it.

Who buys those towels? I imagine them smelling like weed and having stains.

I think it'll be tallest in Alberta, and "one of the tallest" in Western Canada.

Now that the height has been released, it's confirmed that it will be taller than any building either completed or under construction. The only proposal I am aware of that would be taller is the supertall proposed for Vancouver, but I have doubts that project will happen anytime soon, if ever, considering the state of their condo market.

“Tallest outside of Toronto” !

For us nostalgia types....In front of the hotel, I'd like to see a bronze statue of that guy playing the saxophone.

YABBA DABBA DOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

If you have some altitude to high rise building just move to Whitehorse or Saskatoon man

L - R translation issue here to Japanese I think? He means towels as in something you use to wipe yourself off after a bath, not towers as in a tall building.

You don’t want towers that smell like weed and have stains either. So I suggest not moving to Saskatoon.

Are these two buildings 100% a go?

Also when can we expect them to be completed?

No. Expect about 6 months for development permit approval.

You might also have to factor in appeals timelines. They are asking for a reduction to building separation distance and I can see Vetro and Sasso east facing owners being somewhat successful in pushing back on that. It appears as though the proposed facades are a zero setback which is fine, but even twin residential towers follow the minimum separation distances for light and privacy concerns, as well as general livability. If you look at Vancouver and even proposed towers here, many will offset with adjacent buildings to allay these concerns and provide better overall living conditions for everyone.

Maybe it’ll morph into an even taller tower with a greater setback from the west property line. But I can almost guarantee that unless Truman provides frosted windows, screening, and or amenity privileges in lieu to impacted neighbours this will likely not move forward exactly as shown.

Don’t get me wrong either, I love this proposal! But the professional planner in me knows better than to trust that there won’t be some negotiation as the impacts aren’t just to one or two neighbours, but vertical blocks of them (less so for Sasso).

Also when can we expect them to be completed?

2029 for W (the taller one) and 2030 for JW.

As someone said earlier - we better not fumble this ….

This link works for me now. No downloadable plans yet, though.
