Marriott Residence - Page 3

These are the heights, but maybe the residential tower got bumped up?

390 unit hotel, 303 rental units. Residential 37 storeys (117m), hotel 34 storeys (114m).

Looks like another couple towers on the go.

Don't want to jump the gun but AB boots completely demolished and cleared, site servicing looks to be complete, and a small drill working away along the northern periphery of the site.

There's definitely reason to be excited about this development. Heck, in any city even twice our size, two 100+ meter towers starting at the same time is pretty cool, but this is right along the train tracks, one of the most neglected areas in the city. This, along with ONE, Place 10, 6th and 10, Mark, and Tenth Avenue will change the skyline dramatically by bridging the Beltline and Core skylines. In fact, this development will be the biggest part of this bridge, both being in the 120 meter range right along the tracks, respectively the 5th and 7th tallest buildings in the Beltline. After the Guardians, Arriva, Tenth Avenue West, and the Royal.

Can confirm that drilling has def started. Wasn't sure initially because drill is a bit different than i'm used to seeing. Saw some smallish piles being driven today. The smaller drill/piles looks to be due to only two below grade parking levels being built on the hotel side as well as all parking being built above grade on the apartment tower side.

GWL has this listed as two 35 storey towers.

Great news. Hope to see both towers go ahead at once. Would be great to see three towers rise directly on the tracks simultaneously. The project should rise quite quickly since it only has two floors of below grade parking.

If the rumours are true about the Centre 10 retail proceeding across 5th Street from here it will be so strange to have an actual block of 10th Street "completed" and design in a way that reflects the streets modern purpose of an urban high-street.

I still wonder what it takes to get more controlled intersections and pedestrian crossings on 10th. Those decisions are so much more in the black-box and don't ever seem to happen.

It seems that most road planners seem to forget that 10th Streets primary pedestrian movements are north-south given it's location separating high-density jobs and rapid transit from high-density people. The lack of sidewalks, east-west signal priority and lack of crosswalks on many 10th Street intersections directly contradicts this reality.

I hope this development and others along the street helps wake people up to this.

*Place 10 - i think they may be building the whole east tower, not just the podium. We'll find out either way in a few weeks. I also noticed some Axiom labelled equipment at the former Skytower site on 10th ave, now renamed "One". Here's a good article related to 10th AV:

I am pretty sure Place 10 East is going ahead all the way to completion. They had an anchor tenant signed months ago. The only reason that it stalled is because the developer was stuck in litigation in regards to something to do with the development.

A "normal" sized drill was delivered last night.

Noticed that this morning. There's a site plan posted on the fencing that shows the footprints for both towers as well as where the two cranes will be installed so def looks like both towers are getting built. Takes us to 9 tower starts since the beginning of 2015 - not bad for a recession. As a reference Edmonton has had 1 tower start (Symphony).

-Telus Sky
-N3
-Verve
-Park Point
-Parkside (1 tower plus 5 mid-rises)
-The Royal
-Marriott Residences Hotel
-Marriott Rental Tower
-Concord

Plus site prep starting at One.

And a decent medium sized development in Ventus

Love that we'll see two more towers along that bare spot along 10th Ave .. That strip will look much different when this recession ends ... The Met, WAM, Mark, 6th and 10th, Marriott's hotel, the rental tower, and One all going up. Plus hopefully Place 10 will have something up on it.

Tarsus · #54 Posted **Jan 7, 2016, 7:37 PM**

Not to be a nitpicker, but Edmonton is at 3 towers, Stantech and the Delta started up last year. Still very good for Calgary which has had more high rises break ground over the past year than Edmonton, Ottawa and Winnipeg combined. Not bad for a downturn year. 2016 will be less though.

No - they've both been u/c for a long time. Database confirms that they started in 2014.
http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=104164

We're about 3 times higher versus edm in tower constructions this cycle that began in 2011, which parallels the 10 year average as well - we just have quicker construction turnover. Doesn't mean much though - there's a huge gap between wpg, edm, ottawa vs van and to, cgy's somewhere in the middle of those 2 groupings.

We should aim to match Van & TO in say a ratio of inner-city high-rise/mid-rise/low-rise starts per annual metro growth population or a similar metric. Most of TO's inner-city continues to be a massive construction zone. Can prob do it with the centralized workforce and the developer mix we have going on. By how much brownfield continues to expand here and how much the city pursues growth in other non-energy industries remains to be seen.

Don't forget Marquee on 16th! It may not be pretty, but at 9 storeys it's the tallest in the area

Is that one actually happening? I recall some digging but haven't been in the area recently. I thought it was held up to wait for some permitting or something

It's at grade

Spring2008 · #59 Posted **Jan 13, 2016, 4:56 AM**

2 big drills and 1 small drill working away on site now.

Also read something on Loopnet about only 240,000 sf out of the 316,000 sf net rentable area available in the Place10 east tower across the street. Pretty sure they're proceeding with full build out with that one.
