I wonder how they're going to make that work with a shared lobby and set of elevators...

There are several hotels in Las Vegas that occupy tower locations (sometimes the uppermost floors -- Four Seasons; sometimes lower floors). Typically they have a lobby presence on the ground floor and share the elevator access with either another hotel or with condos. It seems to work.

I can see why they didn't sell much, a 490 Square feet bachelor pad was selling for almost $400,000! You can buy a 1,900 square foot, single family home with a attached garage that is for less than $400,000

When I got invited to a pre-showing of the units at Stantec I knew instantly that this was not for me. They casually said to my Girlfriend and I (we are both 20) that this is a perfect weekend condo for a young couple. Which 20 year old casually has $400,000 dollars to spend on a WEEKEND house .

Bottom floors into hotel. Some folks will get to move up to higher floors.

^ Kind of cool, I just realized that this will be edmonton's highest hotel floors by far.

Now if only we could fill in more gaps around it...

Watching the heat vapours rise from downtown today, it occurred to me that Stantec Tower is probably the world's tallest building in a -30C climate. Neat.
Is it also the world's tallest building this far north? I haven't checked but I'm willing to bet it is.

@.crystalised. Moscow is 2° further north and has 10 buildings taller than Stantec.

Interesting !
I believe it is. Quick search and I can't find anything North of Lat 53 in Eurasia. Not sure at what latitude its next closest rival would be, Calgary? ( :
New marketing for the Ice District. Worlds tallest this far North, come see the Northern lights up close.

*edit, shit, cancel that, lol

Has anyone heard more about the lighting feature on Stantec? Now that JW has its crown lit it sure would be another great addition to dark winter nights.

Darn. Close, but no cigar. Moscow remains milder however, due to the North Atlantic Current. So I suppose we could (arguably) claim the -30C climate title.

Looks like Moscow is going through a supertall construction boom right now, with some of the tallest buildings in Europe. Cool.

Montreal also appears to be booming once again. Trying not to despair for Edmonton.

I'd really like to know what's going on with the lighting as well. I thought the sides have fins that light up.
