A Short History of the Ace Hotel Development

Once a three story office building, 51 Camden Street (along with 49 Camden next door) is slated to become an Ace Hotel.  In April 2015, developers held a pre-application meeting with community residents (link to notes).  Concerns expressed at that meeting were:
   - building height with loss of sunlight to the park on the west and to condominiums on the north
   - traffic congestion associated with guest activity requiring taxis or private vehicles
   - noise levels concomitant to a young hip guest population, especially if a rooftop patio were to be included as a hotel facility

The Ace Hotel is a known chain in other major North American and international cities (http://www.acehotel.com/).  Media commentators are generally enthusiastic about this development (link to Toronto Life article).

In August 2015, developers submitted a rezoning application to City Hall (link to architectural plans ... a 28 MB pdf).

Community residents are encouraged to submit comments to the City Planner assigned to this development (link to input form).
