These brands are poised to transform the hospitality landscape in Calgary and will debut as part of a dynamic mixed-use development ideally situated within the city's rapidly evolving Culture + Entertainment District.

The development of the Autograph Collection, W Calgary, and JW Marriott Calgary, expected to open in 2028, 2029, and 2030 respectively, will be led by Calgary-based joint-venture partners Truman and Louson. Planned to be two of Western Canada's tallest residential towers and located at 15 Ave and Macleod Trail S.E., W Calgary and JW Marriott Calgary are set to redefine luxury in the city, offering elevated living and travel experiences in the city.

Is it bigger than Edmonton's? Developers probably can't help themselves when it comes to dick measuring contests of this sort.

Will the Saddledome still be standing when these are complete?

If that's what the buildings end up looking like, I'm a big fan. Love the design.

It's interesting that the Saddledome is in the rendering. What's the plan for it?

To be torn down once the new event centre is open.

Probably just showing the Saddledome so people can know where the towers are in relation to the current city skyline

Would love to see what they initially rendered to what actually got built. Excitement is good but execution is better.

The Marriott Autograph hotels are usually very trendy and nice. That should be a nice addition along with those two behemoths.

So many photos of Calgary highlight the Saddledome. Really going to be sad to lose that feature from the skyline.

Nice looking design. 69 stories would eclipse Stantec Tower in Edmonton I believe.
