The Wikipedia list is pretty up to date, but the list is only covering buildings that are over 80% hotel. Our JW will be less than 80%, so it won't be on the list, but otherwise it would be on the list at roughly 17th. It's also possible the towers residential portion may be long stay units, that are often considered as hotel suites?

It's pretty atypical to have W/JW long stay units, it's just cost prohibitive. Some hotels will do a combination where half of it is a short stay and portion of it is long-stay, but usually it's branded differently, like Courtyard vs Residence Inn, or Hyatt Place vs Hyatt House. Pretty sure Truman will want to sell them as branded condos but how much demand they get will likely determine how they split the units

I think that image is the view from a very specific location. That looks like Memorial? As you travel even slightly East or West, the overlap of the buildings would look very different. It's not going to look amazing from every angle, and frankly I don't think that rendering looks that bad either.

Yeah look at the Bow for example. Everyone was rightfully saying that the Bows proportions look awful from the North view but we all got used to it eventually. There will be less than stellar views of any massive tower like this but eventually you get used to it and forget about the complaints.

I looked up where the W building will rank among the tallest hotels upon completion, and was surprised to learn it will be the second tallest in North America and 17th worldwide

Well.. it would be as long as Vancouver stalls on getting this built... I believe the tallest tower is fully hotel, 315m

What does all windows will achieve a minimum of 18m sight lines at 70 degrees mean, and why does that matter? Also, is 70 degrees arbitrary to measure sightlines at, or a code/industry norm?

Does Truman not need to sell these residences before proceeding? For comparison, the Broadway started sales in summer 2025, DP approved Dec 2025, they don't plan to start construction at the earliest, Oct 2026, and that can get delayed if sales don't go as planned. And Truman plans to submit DP in fall 2026 and start January 2027? And doesn't even look like they are selling the units yet?

According to that schedule the DP was submitted in July 2025 with anticipated release in Autumn 2026.
The BP application is scheduled for October 2026 which should permit construction to start in January 2027.

Giddy-yup!!

I really dislike this view. The towers look like a blob with no definition and the corner balconies halfway up give it a very weird shape. I also think the orientation of the swoopy crown makes it look squatter and less dramatic.

From a tourism and Econ Dev perspective, this is such a great image for the city...would be ideal if the camera was a bit more north, looking more SW...the tower/beltline/SP/BMO/truman/mountains/sky....we take for granted what a world class collection of things that is in one image
