Truman Hotel | 24m | 6s | Truman | NORR

Glad to see proposals along 6th avenue. Once Scotia Place opens and the new 6th St SE underpass opens, the connection to the C+E district is actually great from this location.
 
If this had been a residential building, I think I would have had more of an issue with the walled courtyard, but because it's a hotel, I think this is the type of hotel experience that is somewhat lacking in downtown Calgary. I don't love it, but given the location, I can also understand the desire to wall off that courtyard, and can make my peace with it.

I really like the design otherwise. I think it will be a timeless addition. Between this and the development across from the library, it seems like maybe there is a little bit of momentum for East Village in the mid-rise market.
 

The thread for the Minto project that is now the latest Truman hotel.
