A large site facing a new public square was developed with two hotels for Starwood. The 25-story full-service pair of buildings (Sheraton and a 176-room Aloft by W Hotels) feature extensive amenities that include ballrooms, conference facilities, spa, fitness center, aquatic center, restaurants and rooftop bar.
The 200, 000 square foot development was tailored to fit a master plan by NYC Economic Development Corporation.
The stepping facade planes and horizontally banded windows capture the unique wrap-around views afforded to the first major development under the historic rezoning initiative.
