Plans for a boutique hotel on Duffield Street appear to be moving forward independently of the contentious eminent domain proceedings that may hit the Underground Railroad houses just a few doors down. A group of investors recently closed on the purchase of 237 Duffield Street for $9.5 million, according to public records. As we noted a couple of months ago, the developers intend to build a 22-story, Karl Fischer-designed Hotel Indigo to replace the VIM store that’s currently standing in the spot. The management team behind the planned hotel is called V3, and most of the hotels they’ve had a hand in have been economy chains like Comfort Inns and Holiday Inn Expresses. The forthcoming seamless blend of ergonomics and urbanity still has a ways to go before it graces Downtown Brooklyn, though: The DOB doesn’t show any applications filed for the demolition of the VIM building at 237 Duffield.
Sneakers Out, Minibars in at 237 Duffield Street [Brownstoner] GMAP P*Shark DOB
WOW !
OOOOOOHHHHHH NNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! the beginning of the end of Fulton Mall!!
btw – i had to endure a night at the hotel indigo atlanta, and i have to say – it’s basically a holiday inn dressed up in a boutique hotel (blue) costume.
if this pic is any evidence of what the building will really look like, then at least the exterior will match the interior.
YUCK!!!!
Exactly what is wrong with two hotels on one block?
There is currently a Hotel being built across the street on Duffield as well – on the same block. So there are going to be two hotels on the same street? Crazy.
Out of scale with the existing contect? Yes. But perfectly in-scale with all of the mega-projects that are currently planned or under construction in the surrounding blocks.
but VIM is the best jeans and sneaker store in America!
how could they!!
btw the new bldg looks fugly and is a tad out of scale, no?
