A: Manga Hotels has proposed two hotels, with different brands, connected at the first and second levels. The shared levels will serve as shared spaces between the two hotels, featuring amenity and lobby space. The first hotel fronting Richmond Street West will be a 17-storey, 240 suite building with all vehicle access for both hotels. The hotel fronting Camden Street will be a 15-storey, 135 suite building with pedestrian access only.
A: Yes. Both buildings will be hotel suites representing two separate brands.
A: All access and loading will happen at the 465-471 Richmond Street West location through an onsite lane way. There will only be a pedestrian entrance at the Camden Street Hotel.
A: The site will be comprised of two hotels that will share some facilities such as access, loading, parking, and amenities.
A: Our research has shown that the neighbourhood currently does not have a sufficient number of hotel rooms to meet the demand. This proposed hotel will contribute to meeting that need for hotel rooms, and add the mix of uses in the area. If approved, the hotel will provide opportunity for tourism, job creation, and relief from the high number of short term rentals in the area.
A: The application for Zoning By-law Amendment was submitted to the City of Toronto on July 4, 2019. City Staff will be circulating the application amongst various divisions for comment, and we will respond to those comments once we hear back. As we progress through that process, we also plan to be seeking input and responding to community questions and input.
A: It is important to us that we are actively involved with the community throughout this process. This website is one of the ways that we hope to bring information to you, and provide an opportunity for you to ask questions and share your input.
It is our goal to facilitate engaging conversations to ensure the voices of the community are heard. In order to ensure your participation please continue to check out our Project Status section to see upcoming events and important dates.
