I love that they kept those trees alive during construction. They've had a major head start with lots of light, and the new tenant can enjoy walking into their building from day 1.

ALT may be one of the those that looks better than expected when finished.

ALT will fit in well in East Village, but how it will looks will depend on the materials. The black and white colouring will look good, but if it is EIF as panelling it might not look good all for the long run.

The windows have a warehouse feel. Should look okay.

 

[Alex_YYC]

Yeah, should be fine whatever materials they use. There's more glass than panelling.

So concrete for the first 3 floors and then steel for the rest?

Hey everyone. First post on this forum after spending a couple years in SSP.

I think ALT Hotel is concrete construction for the 2 story podium and then switches to steel construction after that. In terms of the steel construction, another poster mentioned that a different crane would be required due to the weight of the steel. The CMLC posted yesterday on Twitter that the 'elbow' of Confluence Way will be closed to traffic from Sept 18 - Nov 15 for construction of the ALT Hotel. My guess is the closure is to accommodate the crane to lift the steel. Good news is that should mean the steel structure of Alt Hotel will be substantially complete by mid November and that we should be getting an idea of what the cladding and everything will look like shortly after that.

welcome, outoftheice!
I'm hopeful for this one, we'll just have to wait and see though.

Welcome @outoftheice !

I'm excited to see this one through. It'll be nice having another hotel in EV.

I also noticed yesterday they Arris is above grade and moving quickly.

Four construction sites in one picture:

So apparently this is going to utilize modular construction, with pods already done and ready to be put into place on site. I'd guess there has to be some steel framing done first for the pods to be put into.

I saw two pods on site this morning.

It's going to be interesting watching this get constructed with these pods. I don't believe this has ever happened here in Calgary before. There was the Bow with the modular bathrooms, that's all I can remember.

Were there pods at the Hilton Garden Inn? Maybe it was just the washrooms prebuilt there and not whole rooms.
