Yeah, pretty hostile streetscape for pedestrians all around

In fairness they are neighbours with Alpha House and it is situated on the biggest car sewer in the city.

I wish we had wider right-of-ways. Some of the best streets in the world are car sewers with super wide sidewalks

LOL at 2030 with 3 years scheduled for construction.

With a drop-off lobby for both towers on 14th and 15th Ave, respectively, is it really necessary to have the parking turnout along Macleod? I already hate the turnout in front of BLVD, so I would hate for this trend to continue.

The duel courtyards are very compact for premium properties. Enough for drop offs but, not for waiting cars.

Perhaps they will begin excavation before "Construction Phase"

Edit: Reddit thread if anyone's interested

Why does it need over a year for shovels in the ground

Most of that time is needed for development approvals. 18 months seems pretty aggressive for something of this scale actually. If they can be under construction by Jan. ‘27 I’ll be thrilled.

Yes, we need to remember that excavation can begin before the BP is approved. I think they just need DP approval. So that speeds the timeline a bit.

Seems the tallest is now 71 storeys.

 

[aryanoboi]

Well at this rate the taller one will be 107 storeys tall by the time construction starts.

Let’s keep adding more floors!!

 

[Roaring Flames]

floors 70 and 71 are rooftop, so decoration? 68 and 69 are listed as mechanical floors

Saw these up on the site the other day:

Exactly...ground will break in the fall of 2026 for the twins.... End of October for the Autograph hotel.

With Truman projects, I assume the timing is also driven by their other projects and how they shift trades from one project to the next because they do more of the work in house than contract, that's why I've heard anyways. From a friend that works at a pretty large builder with a presence in AB but primarily in the GTA, Truman is making a bit of a name for itself with the work they're doing in Calgary!

....and more coming. There is another high profile project coming down the pipeline.

^Oh man ZoomZoom - you’re killing me (in a good way)

I wish Truman (or any developer) would buy the First Canadian Centre site and build the originally proposed 64 storey tower. The foundations are already in - they could build it as residential, I don’t care as long as it’s built to the original design. Then I could die a happy man.
