Chelsea Hotel

The Chelsea Hotel in Downtown Toronto is undergoing a revision into a mixed-use development containing 3 street-related mid-rise towers and podiums, and a new park with connections across the site to accommodate an expansion of the hotel. We developed a functional design solution to address parking and loading challenges, reviewed and determined appropriate site accesses, and prepared an inclusive transportation assessment to support the rezoning application. Based upon its location within the downtown core, a potential PATH connection was considered as part of our focus on the pedestrian network and activity.
