The JW Marriott Edmonton Ice District & Residences is a mixed-use skyscraper in Edmonton, Alberta as part of the downtown Ice District. It is a combination of a JW Marriott hotel in the lower section, with residential condos named Legends Private Residences in the upper section. [11] Construction began in November 2014 and the hotel opened on 1 August 2019. [3] The tower became the tallest building in Edmonton on 3 November 2017 [12] and held that status until it was surpassed by the Stantec Tower in May 2018, [13] en route to topping out its 56th floor at its final height of 192 metres (630 ft) on 20 March 2018. [14]

[11] The building has a total of 55 floors, at a height of 192.95 m (633.0 ft). [11] [16] The tower topped out in March 2018 and reached its final design height on May 8, 2018.
