JW Marriott and The Legends Private Residences | 191.1m | 56s | ICE District Prop. | Hariri Pontarini

I only just noticed that the core is just a touch higher than Bell, so it is at least our fourth now, third if your calculations are right @archited.

Won't be the tallest for long!

This is a good view to show how much taller the Marriott is than the Bell Tower.

 

[archited]

Another way to verify the calcs. is to subtract my height estimate from the total finished projected height (191- 140.7 = 50.3), leaving a floor-to-floor height of 3.14m for the rest of the build-out (16 floor levels, allowing 2 for the penthouse) which sounds about right, yes? Other sources have the height listed at 192.2m on the low side and 192.95 on the high side which increases the floor-to-floor to 3.22m to 3.27m, giving me even more confidence in my calculations.

@archited It's funny because you think I'm good with numbers.

 

[archited]

All of this @Daveography just to say that Legends is solidly in 3rd place and not far off first and as @Jarodsc17 notes won't be that way for long at any rate.

 

[tele75]

Yeah. A few more weeks and it WILL be the tallest.

 

[archited]

As a point of interest for all of us "height geeks" the core slip-forms have shot up another floor. As they work on placing rebar and concrete, we can now say that Marriott/Legends is Edmonton's tallest structure (by a few inches/centimetres). Although a temporary crown, it is a significant one.

 

[Jarodsc17]

From NAIT the Marriott looks a shy bit shorter than the Epcor Tower, but that could just be from the location and the point of view.

 

[archited]

@Jarodsc17 my calculations are certainly within a margin of error that may suggest that the Epcor tower is a few inches/cms higher, but I am still inclined to believe otherwise now that the Marriott/Legends core has progressed upward. It is harder to triangulate the perspective lines in your photo because I can't tell which structure is closer to your vantage point and by how much. On the other hand the photo does give a good representation between the new hotel/condo and the Edmonton tower and that height ratio still suggests that the new building is in overall first place in the height contest.

 

[Jarodsc17]

The Epcor Tower is one street closer.

 

[archited]

Imagine how this tower will dominate the skyline from your vantage point @Jarodsc17 when the equivalent of 16 additional floors are completed.

 

[Jarodsc17]

I know same as the Stantec Tower!

Ah! The crane at @JWMarriottEdm grew a few meters. Can’t wait to see it soar even higher.#yegdt @IceDistrict
