Iconic in the ICE District.
The JW Marriott Hotel & The Legends Private Residences are Block A of the landmark ICE District development in downtown Edmonton.
The project consists of a 56-storey tower with 356 hotel suites, a fitness centre, a spa, restaurants, bars, a pool, an outdoor terrace, conference and meeting rooms, two ballrooms, a pre-function event space, and a full-service catering kitchen. Within this building, the Legends Private Residences are luxury condominiums that offer fully-customizable layouts to residents, as well as a private event space and terrace.
Smith + Andersen provided mechanical engineering and sustainable services for this project, which was completed in 2019.

"The client required fully-separate mechanical systems for the hotel and residences to accommodate the different needs of each space."
The client required fully separate mechanical systems for the hotel and residences to accommodate the different needs of each space. The hotel’s mechanical design incorporates JW Marriott standards, which required an automatic smoke control system to be integrated with the building automation system. Slim, high-capacity perimeter heating units were installed throughout the residences to provide efficient heat distribution while accommodating full glazing in a northern climate. All mechanical systems include heat recovery.
Smith + Andersen was involved in several other ICE District developments, including the ICE District parkade (a 2,100-car underground parking garage connected to all towers), Block D (the 27-storey Edmonton Tower), Block E (peer review of the 60-storey office and residential tower), and the design development of Block BG (a 43-storey, mixed-use residential tower).
