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

Lol - so much for my theory on some sort of correlation between height and unit count. Units and heights are just random numbers

1. 69 Storey tower = 157 room hotel + 239 residential units = 396 units total
2. 62 Storey tower = 248 room hotel +120 residential units = 368 units total
3. 14 storey hotel = 320 units total

Even if it's just a single cm taller than Stantec, that's ok with me. Actually may even be preferable.

Is there an announcement on the Archicect? I can’t imagine any other than NORR, similar to Truman’s other major projects ?

I absolutely love the gigantic influx of hotel space, and in an area that makes sense - for convention centre, arena, Stampede and 17th Avenue. This city badly needs more hotels/hotel rooms and hospitality space/amenities, and we need them tomorrow. This is a game-changing/standard-setting initiative by Marriott. Absolutely excited.

Yep, this Truman trio of hotels would make it 9 hotels built in downtown in roughly a decade. That's pretty amazing, especially when compared to comparable sized cities like Edmonton or Ottawa.

Yowza! Go Truman.

Would love to see a new stadium where the Saddledome is now down the road to truly make this our all in one entertainment district.

A couple more renderings.

The W Calgary (the taller of the two) will have a publicly accessible observation deck!

Hopefully not twins.

Okay I retract that. I’ll take these twins!

Holy SHIT

Truman can have my kids. What a project here. GET ER DONE

 

[CBBarnett]

I am amazed Truman can financially support the level of development they are. Thinking back to their size only a decade ago, that's a wild amount of scaling up they have done. Add another $1.5B to their portfolio with these hotels. Impressive stuff.

To see this one through, just got to hope we don't have a global recession and economic collapse before shovels get in the ground . Hopefully we break the trend - often the biggest projects are announced right before the next crash! Luckily, we often finish them.

• Telus Sky (2013 announced, 2015 crash)
• Brookfield Place (2012 announced, 2015 crash)
• The Bow (2006 announced, 2008 crash)

It would be fascinating to know more about how the financing works for such a large and rapidly growing portfolio at a company like Truman.

Very nice. That lot has been vacant for ~45 years! (full of houses 1979, vacant 1982)

Why is the Lollidome in that photo. For old times Nostalgia sakes?

Would be cool to see these giants coming in from the south, on Macleod Trail

It's The Calgary Way - downtown land is apparently so valuable it only has two possible uses: unkempt gravel surface parking lots or multi-billion-dollar shiny glass towers.
