Spill the beans

I would love to but until things are released internally, I can't. There is a lot going on in the background. The next announcement will blow this one out of the water.

I can be patient. I've followed the Green Line, "Events Centre", East Village, Victoria Park, Westbrook, Fieldhouse, etc. Following development is a rollercoaster of emotions.

This is ideal as some brand's 5 star collection of independent hotels. A medium rise Ritz-Carlton by the Stampede grounds would be disappointing.

You might just get your wish

Calgary is getting its own.....Trump Tower or Trump Casino??!

I meant in addition to this. We need a proper 50+ story similar to the JW in Edmonton.

The hotel only goes up to 22nd floor. Most highrise hotels are like that, pretty sure Residence Inn in the Beltline is the same.

We do need a true 5 star at some point. Thinking JW, Hyatt Regency, dare I say Ritz?

We do have a Regency already, that's basically equivalent to a standard Marriott. This location and it being smaller, more boutique vibe seems good for a W (Marriott), JdV (Hyatt) or Kimpton (IHG). One step off from the most premium brand (Ritz, St. Regis, Park Hyatt, etc.)

Wouldn't be surprised if the Stampede Station site had a more upscale business hotel (JW, Conrad or Grand Hyatt), while the currently announced hotel is more a boutique brand.

This project even if it's a boutique hotel is definitely on the luxury side with the attached 15,000 sqft ballroom, indoor pool and fitness centre, and rooftop pool.

City Centre tower 2 long rumoured hotel project?

City Centre tower 2 long rumoured hotel project?

I'd think Broadway or Stampede Station are more likely before City Centre 2. It'll need to be mixed use, and I doubt anyone is proposing any additional office space in Calgary, and that location isn't that ideal for residential imo.

Broadway def the best location

Oh c'mon now, the City Centre 2 location is perfect now. Unobstructed north views towards a dirt plot of land where once stood a market...

North end of downtown has always struggled as a speculative office building district, parking of the speculative parking lot "ring" of the office core. Inflated and distorted expectations based on a 1980s office model really messed with the area's developability.

As things change there's lots of different possibilities in the future. North of 4th Avenue, it would be great to see even 6 storey infill to create a low/mid rise (but still urban and dense) couple block to transition from the River to the office core. We should stop hoping multi-phase, multi-tower mega projects will be able to save us.

My mind's in a fog this morning. Is there a hotel portion proposed for Broadway?
