The City’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee will consider an application on Thursday, January 11 to partially demolish the Château Laurier’s parking garage. The application stems from an engineering report that indicates the four-storey building is no longer structurally sound.
An engineering analysis of the parking garage, built in 1969, indicates it has deteriorated badly, due to salt infiltration and age. For safety reasons, the garage is no longer in use. City heritage staff support the demolition, noting that the building has reached the end of its useful life.
While the garage would need to be removed prior to construction of a planned addition to the hotel, the City has not yet received a revised development application for the replacement building. The Sub-Committee’s decision on demolition of the garage will not affect any future decision about what might be built in its place. The Château Laurier is protected under the Ontario Heritage Act, and all additions must be approved by City Council.
A revised development application for the new addition is expected, and public consultation could begin as early as this winter. The Built-Heritage Sub-Committee and the City’s Planning Committee would consider the application in the spring, followed by City Council. In addition to the consultation period, the public would be able to address the application when it comes before each Committee.
If City Council approves the application for demolition, the plan for the site is to create a surface lot for hotel guests, retaining and stabilizing a portion of the existing walls to screen parked vehicles from view. If approved, demolition work would start in February and be completed within three months.
