Stampede Station | 277.3m | 70s | Truman | NORR

^Oh man ZoomZoom - you’re killing me (in a good way)

I wish Truman (or any developer) would buy the First Canadian Centre site and build the originally proposed 64 storey tower. The foundations are already in - they could build it as residential, I don’t care as long as it’s built to the original design. Then I could die a happy man.

With Truman projects, I assume the timing is also driven by their other projects and how they shift trades from one project to the next because they do more of the work in house than contract, that's why I've heard anyways. From a friend that works at a pretty large builder with a presence in AB but primarily in the GTA, Truman is making a bit of a name for itself with the work they're doing in Calgary!

They do shift trades from site to site to try and keep them working on their jobs and nobody else's. They use contractors for a lot of the big stuff, but I'm not sure about the smaller things like plumbing and drywall.

....and more coming. There is another high profile project coming down the pipeline.

Truman just continues to raise the bar over and over again.

My mind is racing, as I'm sure anyone's mind is here after reading that. City building wise, I hope it is Westbrook.

It's the Truman show here in Calgary right now

My chips are on FlixBus site east of Centre and 12th. Though the planned Green Line station there is likely to move Northwest with the above-ground alignment, which takes some potential out of the height.

Still, would be the ideal spot for something around 150–200m, help fill out the skyline after Stampede Station. Or something even taller would add some character to the view from the North.

You know the height by any chance?

Ain’t no way…

What other lots does Truman own that could be a potential site for development?

And what the hell are they planning on building??? No way it beats out this project. At this rate they’re going to gun for Calgarys first super tall.

A 300m+ Truman Tower to replace the Calgary Tower? One can hope

Man, Truman is wearing the big boy pants.

Stampede Station is planned with an observation deck. Think about what that could mean for Truman's future height plans.

Don't replace the tower, just enlarge it. There was an engineering study done many years ago that said the foundation and shaft could be extended another 100m or so.

Just leave the tower alone.

Enlarging is the worst idea. It's a major alteration creating a facsimile than preservation of this landmark. A nicer inspired KFC bucket could be built without blowing the bank with all sorts of modern attractions.
