It will be interesting to see if any of the areas marked as "not part of submission" are still demolished.

That did seem odd. I was curious too.
I guess this is just a zoning request to speed up the use of the property.
I’m curious how soon this hotel could generate revenue. Minimum 1 year? They mentioned minimum 5 years to start the bigger project.

I think there is a ballroom architect from Washington looking for work.

Hard to say I guess. It looks like they're planning to use the existing loading dock in the podium that faces Freeland Street so at least a portion of it will remain. Whether they demolish the norther portion and just retain the space used for loading/service and the rooftop amenities seems unknown. It probably depends how the structure is built internally.

I will note that this looks to be a rather unusual hotel. A lot of the suites here are quite massive - and even the "small" suites are about 50% larger than a normal hotel suite. Floors 16-25 have suites generally in the 600-1,200sf range, and the remaining floors have "typical" hotel rooms around 450sf. A typical 2-Queen or 1-king suite in most hotels is normally closer to 300sf for comparison. And that's not even considering the 3.6m floor to floor slab heights here, which is going to mean these suites will have ceiling heights 2-3ft taller than a typical hotel!

Like look at the size of these!

Also - the 25th storey has no direct elevator access, requiring guests to take the staircase or a small 1-level shuttle elevator..

The typical floors are also fairly large.

How strange. I wonder if those are the longer term stay hotel rooms they referenced earlier
