Stampede Station | 270m | 69s | Truman | NORR

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

Gawd! Would be hell of a sight on approach to YYC from the south. Any idea who designed this?

I wouldn't be shocked if it were NORR's Chicago Office. Truman has been working with them a lot recently.

Let the guessing begin! I’m going with 55 storeys.

I’m happy to have been way off.

I like how they emulated the curve of the C-Train station in the podium.

You guys are way off. The top of this thing is gonna be 1300m above sea level.

Hey, I was in Banff with the in-laws all day today, what did I miss?....

Geez, of all the days to be away from SRC, it HAD to be when a new tallest was announced. This project is amazing, can't wait to see it get underway.

Does anyone else think these could be given the unoffiical nickname of "the cowboy boots", given their shape and proximity to the grounds? Or, am I just experiencing some pareidolia?

 

[Surrealplaces]

Disco Stu's cowboy boots lol

Wow, I step away for a day and all hell breaks loose!
Build this!

I'm always amazed at Truman, and kind of worried as well. I can't believe how much they've taken on.

I've been under the assumption that the three Truman towers downtown was mostly funded by outside investors (due to the advertising on that Toronto condo site) and Truman was more managing the project, but maybe someone with more knowledge can shed come light.

My thoughts as well. I’m not familiar with the details of their finances, but it’s mind boggling how much they have going on. I really hope they don’t stretch themselves thin. For a hotel brand like this to partner with Truman, I am somewhat reassured though. Surely they would have done their due diligence.
