Stampede Station | 252m | 69s | Truman

Great to finally see development on that site. The original Stampede Station project was announced in 2000. Hopefully this provides the people to support street level restaurants and bars on the south side of the street from the BMO Center such that it becomes a true extension of 17th Ave.

The Stampede could do so much more to monetize its brand and spur even more development in the east Beltline:
-extend the Stampede from 10 to 17 or even 24 days with big name entertainers booked at the new arena every evening
-partner with one of the big casino companies to build a stampede themed resort near the new arena that could be a year round draw
Different lot & different project.
 
Luxury hotels generally have higher ceiling heights.

After all, they have decided to add balconies, which are almost never seen on hotel construction. This is going to be one fancy hotel.

If the ceiling heights are around 3.5, which would be reasonable for a luxury product, and you add the 5 podium and 5 crown floors, which look to be around double the height, and also add the mechanical penthouse, which looks to be around 10m, you get:

(3.5*59) + (7*10) + (10) = 286.5m

Edit: I do think this is a very generous estimate, so my actual guess would be around 267-276m

From the article: 'JW Marriott will operate as a luxury hotel, while W Calgary will be a lifestyle-luxury hotel, and the Autograph Collections Hotel will be a premium-lifestyle hotel.'

Trying to make sense of these hotel tier levels has me cross-eyed. Is luxury higher than premium?
The prices for a stay two weeks from now in Austin and Scottsdale:
JW: 396, 289
W: 265, 202
Autograph: 219, 175.

The Dorian is an Autograph hotel.
 
Based on this fact and some quick scale measures I'm getting the height of the tall one to be about 335m with the smaller one being around 300m! 🧐

I recall past Truman DPs having higher floor heights

3.25 * 61 residential floors which is about 198 metres. I get 30 metres each for both podium and penthouse.

255 to 265 metres
