This is the location for Site 3 of the ESC with a possible elevation around 930 feet.
This is a beautiful building. I’m in no rush to see it razed.
Ugh. I stayed at the Stewart Hotel multiple times and it has always been nothing but a good experience. I will miss it profoundly.
This is great news. I was afraid it would go in the big Penn makeover.
It still might one day, if “Penn South” is still the preferred station expansion plan.
But it says something that they’re proceeding with this renovation- probably that they think they’ll still be around for at least another decade.
A partnership between multifamily developer-operator Slate Property Group and Breaking Group, an organization that provides permanent supportive housing for individuals in need, is in late-stage talks to acquire Manhattan’s Stewart Hotel from Sioni Group and Patriarch Equities for around $275 million, with plans to convert the property to 535 units of permanent affordable housing.
Slate and Breaking Ground would be co-developers on the project.
The Stewart, at 371 Seventh Avenue on the corner of 31st Street, closed as a working hotel in 2022, and was recently used by the city as a migrant shelter.
