That's the plan. Lot's going on behind the scenes with this one.

Not sure how much detail you can go into, but since these are branded residences, are they going to sell them pre-construction and start once they hit a certain threshold? Or will it go ahead on the hotel component alone, and sell the residences as they go.

Those type of decisions I'm not in volved with. My guess would be that they would start selling at the earliest possible date.

The more I look at these images, the more I think the renderings are doing a lot of heavy lifting to get everyone excited, but the end result probably won't be anything that special from an architectural or material standpoint. I assume we'll get something similar in quality to the JW Marriot in Edmonton...tall, blue, but kind of generic.

But as long as we're the tallest, that's cool with me.

These days I tend to prefer smaller-scale quality-focused projects over the tall stuff...but if it turns into a back and forth dick-measuring contest with Edmonton, I think we all win.

Would love to see the AI prompts. "Please give me a cyclist using the bike lane, but make sure everyone is very good at business and wears a tailored suit. thx <3"

I do hope the sidewalk is actually pavers and not concrete but that is unlikely.

Nah the materials you see are what you'll get. Hotel brands like this are significantly more strict on curb appeal and frontage , if it doesn't look and feel luxurious, people wont pay the luxurious price

Hope so, it will be better for the street tree growth having a permeable surface material.

It would be nice to see more normalization of riding bikes in regular clothes/suits versus the portrayal of them as the lycra crowd all the time. Transportation, not recreation.

I’m doing my part during this February warm spell by riding to work in every morning in my office clothes
