Well the city is really being true to its word about become a tourist destination. I was at the white hat awards ceremony last week and some city officials talked about doubling tourism revenue by 2035. I doubt they’re going to be wrong about that with this rate of development.

What's interesting to me about Truman is where they're choosing to build. Nothing in the East Village or East Victoria Park. Granted the developers that own those parcels might be happy to sit on them.

Ummm… they’ve got a hotel in East Village proposed, and they’re building a hotel in EVP, as well as the tallest buildings in the country outside of Toronto proposed across the street from that. 🤣

There's an insta post that is suggesting this is 55 storeys at 175m height.

Heya! Ms. Unsprawling here.

I wrote the copy and designed the post that way because I just counted the floors (counting double stories as 2) and then multiplied by 3.2 and thought this would be close enough as long as it's clearly communicated as an estimate. I don't have any secret knowledge on this, unfortunately.

190m makes a lot of sense for taller ceiling heights - which still aligns with my "brush up against the Calgary Tower" comment.

Thanks for sharing our post :3

Damn a guy really has to be specific here. I was thinking on this scale in East Village in the centre blocks and I could be wrong but when I say East Victoria Park I mean North of 12th Ave and East of Macleod. Stampede Station is close but I'd still like something between the Events Centre and the tracks.

Even more reason for a new resort. Calgary is a nice place to live and good for a few days, but realistically most tourists are going out to the mountains, and it's becoming way too busy. They need some more destinations that are tourist friendly.

I really am surprised Stoney Nakoda are not doing more, they have the hotel, and "resort" but yeah... Residential maybe doesn't make the most sense as I'm not sure if there's an economic argument for that before there's a train but maybe.
