Alberta Boot Marriot Hotel

Calgary, AB | Completed 2018 | Great West Life Realty Advisors

The Alberta Boot Towers are two 35-storey towers located in the Beltline area of Calgary. The west tower is a purpose-built rental building called Sodo and the east tower is a Residence Inn by Marriott. There is a combined below-grade parking with additional above-grade parking for the rental tower. 

The back-of-house space for the hotel was located below grade directly under the tower. This allowed the tower columns to run down to the foundations with limited transferring. To reduce delivery trucks within the entry plaza, the loading access wrapped around the west and north sides of the site. Due to the limited space and the setback requirements from the railway, hanging transfer columns were utilized to maximize the above-grade parking area under the rental tower.

This project went under extensive value engineering during design and a broad range of structural solutions were presented so that the client could make informed decisions on the optimal direction for the project.
