The Legends Private Residences/JW Marriott pedway connection to Rogers Place is well underway. The steel structure is already in place. Once complete, the amount of steel used in the tower’s podium will weigh approximately 1,200,000 kg. That’s equal to over 2,784 Wayne Gretzky statues.

Mar. 27 - Loving that curved glass. Also, check out the steel ramp suspended under the big cantilever!

This is going to be one beautiful building -- perhaps Edmonton's best (for a while).

 

[tele75]

Agreed! nice update!

I don't think that I have seen a street-level rendering of the Marriott from the north side -- it looks like it is going to have some very exciting attributes!

 

[archited]

Any thoughts on the raison d'être for the ramp? -- it is quite wide and certainly has street-view potential.

 

[Daveography]

@archited Best guess is easy access from the second level to Rogers Place.

Looks like about 5 floors left to go before it transitions to the condo portion. Curious if they will need to do a load transfer slab or if the structure extends the existing columns. Looks like the later but hard to tell.

It's currently at approximately 1/3 of its final height.
