In the future, any buildings you wish to see replaced can be discussed in the thread below….

A good angled view showing the hotel (center) and its surroundings...

If only we could get a facadectomy and build the new tower behind the classic hotel facade. The hotel holds the streetwall perfectly and the this new one treats it like a Gene Kaufmann hotel podium, except with a very skinny Pelli tower on it

Can't wait till this dumpy hotel is demolished.

This portion of 7th Ave. is dark and depressing with the aging dowager hotels. Some new blood, please. This is Billionaire's Row, steps to Central Park. A few new supertalls, please. There will still be a bunch of brooding old hotels.

I think that the Wellington is a nice old building. I’m curious to see what Barnett comes up with.

I’m also very curious what he’s doing with his empty lot across the street.

the wellington exterior is classic gotham, but not memorable.

barnett will do right by the site with a decent, skinny supertall.

i will miss that whole/full intersection being hardcore gothic gotham though.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed. His plans for 570 Fifth are underwhelming.

Extell plans new hotel at shuttered Wellington
City permitting requirement makes it harder to build new hotels






By Orion Jones
April 17, 2023


Quote:
Garry Barnett’s Extell Development is planning a hotel at the site of the Wellington, a century-old building near Billionaire’s Row that provided rooms to the homeless during the DeBlasio administration.

Plans made public on Monday by the Department of Buildings suggest the developer will renovate the hotel rather than construct another towering edifice near Central Park South, like the developer’s Central Park Tower or One57 — both condominium buildings.

The proposed hotel, with 214,000 square feet of floor area across 27 stories, closely matches the existing structure and comes as the city’s permitting guidelines for new hotels has throttled supply.

The hotel will include ground-floor retail and business amenities such as a banquet room, commercial kitchen and a lecture hall. Floors 8 to 27 will be used exclusively as a hotel.
Quote:
Months after Extell agreed to buy the property’s leasehold for $94 million, fee owner Richard Born’s BD Hotels received approval from the city to renovate the building’s first 12 stories, including demolishing at least half of the building’s floor area.

The city’s permit requirement would kick in for a renovation if its floor area is increased by 20 percent or more, or if the hotel had been out of use for two consecutive years. The Wellington closed about a year into the pandemic, following a stint as a homeless shelter in 2018.

The hotel, known by travelers for its moderate prices and 600 tiny guest rooms, provided lodging to travelers in Midtown. It is unclear how many rooms the new hotel will offer.
