Stampede Station | 273.5m | 67s | Truman | NORR

I looked up where the W building will rank among the tallest hotels upon completion, and was surprised to learn it will be the second tallest in North America and 17th worldwide

Well.. it would be as long as Vancouver stalls on getting this built... I believe the tallest tower is fully hotel, 315m

What does all windows will achieve a minimum of 18m sight lines at 70 degrees mean, and why does that matter? Also, is 70 degrees arbitrary to measure sightlines at, or a code/industry norm?
 
Does Truman not need to sell these residences before proceeding? For comparison, the Broadway started sales in summer 2025, DP approved Dec 2025, they don't plan to start construction at the earliest, Oct 2026, and that can get delayed if sales don't go as planned. And Truman plans to submit DP in fall 2026 and start January 2027? And doesn't even look like they are selling the units yet?

According to that schedule the DP was submitted in July 2025 with anticipated release in Autumn 2026.
The BP application is scheduled for October 2026 which should permit construction to start in January 2027.

Giddy-yup!!

I really dislike this view. The towers look like a blob with no definition and the corner balconies halfway up give it a very weird shape. I also think the orientation of the swoopy crown makes it look squatter and less dramatic.
From a tourism and Econ Dev perspective, this is such a great image for the city...would be ideal if the camera was a bit more north, looking more SW...the tower/beltline/SP/BMO/truman/mountains/sky....we take for granted what a world class collection of things that is in one image
