So heres another image of the Alt hotel. Its going to be 15 storeys high, with a 156 hotel rooms. And will open in fall of 2020. It'll also have retail component and underground parking.

Do you know if this one will be modular construction as well, like the one in EV?

 

[Surrealplaces]

I'm only guessing, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was modular, given the last couple they did.

haha I just realized that this project and the Alt Hotel are the same project, they're considered a mixed-use block and they share a parkade. So apparently we've had a 15 story tower under construction for a while and didn't even realize it Makes sense since the whole south half of the block is being excavated.

That's awesome. I had asked the people at the August sales centre about construction of the hotel and they thought it was coming later on, but looks like it's a go. Good find!

The guys at Alt Hotel EV said this one should be up and running in the second half of 2020 apparently

 

[cameronhowe]

Are they going to be constructing this the same way as what they did with the EV version (shipping containers)?

 

[Mountain Man]

I was wondering the same thing haha. The EV one was fascinating to watch.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

I asked him but he wasn't sure if it would be modular or not. We will see in a couple months

? ??????



Translation: "splendid!"

 

[Urban Outdoorsman]

Looks like they've already started working on the 2nd floor!

 

[Surrealplaces]

It'll be interesting to see if they go concrete for the first two floors and then go modular, or if they stay with the concrete.

 

[Stephen Ave]

I bet they go with modular. If so it'll be cool to watch how quickly it goes up.
