This has been newly redesigned, and is now referred to as 235 King Edward Ave. I find it to be a more harmonious design, more pleasing above street level, but the ground floor is less interesting without that long glass wall.
The current development proposal is for a nine (9) storey full service Holiday Inn Hotel containing 167 suites. The proposed development is intended to offer standard hotel accommodations. The ground floor will be approximately 1205 square metres and will accommodate the main lobby and reception, a media lounge, a family dining bar and buffet, a meeting room, kitchens, washrooms, service rooms, and storage rooms. Five visitor parking spaces will be provided outside of the main entrance along with a lay-by for two vehicles at the entrance and all other parking will be provided underground. A total of 79 underground spaces will be included. Ingress to the site will be provided from St. Patrick Street and egress will be provided on Murray Street.
