Proposal for a Seven – Storey Hotel and Four – Storey Office Building South of Hwy 7 & Woodbine

Markham has proudly earned the title of “Canada’s High Tech Capital.” Over the years, Markham has been developed into a region rich in employment opportunities. With over 1,000 high tech and life sciences companies that provide 37,000 jobs, Markham has since generated a pool of talented employees that have contributed to the economic stability and growth of this region.

As multi-use applications continue to be submitted to the City of Markham, one that stands out is a newly submitted application by JM Hospitality for a seven-storey hotel and a four-storey office building with a restaurant at 8330 Woodbine Avenue. This building is proposed just northwest of Lanark Road and Woodbine Avenue. This area is populated by many restaurants, retail shops, and businesses. Notably, First Markham Place as well as Costco Wholesale can be found just minutes northeast of here. To the south of the site is an undeveloped piece of land and to the east is a fishing and camping store. To the west are manufacturing buildings.

The site is also very accessible by car with Highway 7 to the north and Highway 407 to the south.

This development will surely attract many employees for work and guests in the hotel, and so a total of 236 parking spaces are proposed. More parking spaces will likely be added as a minimum of 315 spaces are necessary per zoning requirements.

8330 Woodbine Avenue consists of two phases of construction in which the hotel will be built first, then the office building. Thus, the existing Comfort Inn on the site will be demolished in two phases as well. The first phase of the demolition coincides with the construction of the new hotel and the second phase of demolition coincides with the development of the office with restaurant.

If proposals go through, this building will further contribute to Markham’s growing economy. The luxury hotel will attract tourists to the area, and since Markham is home to many businesses, those working abroad may stay here for business trips. Without a doubt, the hotel will be booming with business and generating income.

The office building will attract more talented employees and open up new employment opportunities for Markham residents. This application promises significant transformations for Downtown Markham, an already attractive area for investors and homebuyers.
