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

To be honest, I don't care if it's going to be the tallest in western Canada or not. Even if it tops the Stantech tower, it's likely that Vancouver will get a suburban tower that tops this one, but I suppose if it's going to be around 248m, I would be disappointed as they would only need 4 more meters to make it at least Alberta's tallest. If it's close to 251m, might as well go for it.

I guess he's not aware of Vancouver's recent 315m hotel proposal?

The bar for the tallest in Western Canada is at 315m now...

The Vancouver project will come later, so a few years perhaps. Burnaby has a 258.4 m tower on the books, but that needs substantial presales. Just as the downtown Vancouver one does.

We will see what the sales price is. If the W and JW projects allow units to be put in the hotel pool, that makes them more attractive than the BC ones, that cannot be.

The official height for this one is still unknown (Surrealplaces is using 248m as an educated guess). It's also not clear to me whether the tallest is a fact, or if it's a misinterpretation of Truman's announcement of "two of the tallest...".


We will have to wait until the formal DP submission to determine if they'll be the tallest in the west (or even the tallest in Calgary, for that matter).

On Truman's social media pages it says "these towers will be Alberta's tallest"

Vancouver high rise residential market is collapsing in the near term. There is unprecedented fear on the west coast for the development industry. Calgary will gallop ahead.
 
The market for units that can be added to the hotel pool crashed and burned in Ontario once investors got charged commercial tax rates. Vancouver's market is declining while Calgary's is rising. This is still a lot of higher end units to sell. Big step up from 30 storeys and 250 units.
 
Assuming 260-280m (given the 10 double-height storeys from the podium and crown), this is the relative height in the skyline from where I live in the East.

A decent proposal at Hat Elbow would set us up nicely to fulfil my dream of a mountain range shaped skyline.

When would construction begin? Or when would they start digging up that gravel lot?

Based on their estimated completion timeline, they'll need to move quickly. There's still no DP in but I would guess they'll try to secure partial DP's ASAP and break ground as soon as they get their shoring and excavation permits if they seriously want to stick to that timeline, assuming of course that their financing has been sorted out.
