Construction Update: 40 Nevins

40 Nevins Street
Two new hotels are rising within a block of each other in Downtown Brooklyn, at 40 Nevins and 300 Schermerhorn Street. The new buildings are located just a short walk from the Barclay’s Center, and the hotels’ proximity to the arena is certainly a partial explanation for the mini-boom. Besides the commonality of location, the projects also share the same architect of record: Kaufman.
40 Nevins is being developed by CBCS Equities and Barone Management, and per Barone’s website, it will stand 13 stories and hold 204 hotel rooms. No hospitality partner has committed to the project, though excavation is nearly complete and foundation work is already underway. Renderings depict a fairly standard box-like building, which will enhance the pedestrian experience with a solid street-wall presence; while its format will be urban, the cladding appears to be budget-minded. Given its relatively short size, 40 Nevins won’t make an impact on the skyline – and will barely be visible – so the facade issue is minor.
