Firmdale

The Crosby Street Hotel has been registered with USGBC since early April, but details about the project - which will seek a Gold rating under LEED for New Construction- have been hard to come by. Still, the hotel should open by the close of 2008, and given gbNYC’s recent attention to the hospitality industry, it deserves mention before the close of the year. The hotel is being developed by UK-based Firmdale Hotels, well-known for a portfolio of high end hotel properties in London that includes the five star Haymarket and Charlotte Street Hotels. The eight-story, 75-room property- the company’s first foray into New York - is set to rise on Crosby Street in SoHo in what was a parking lot between Prince and Spring Streets.
