Restaurateur Matt Abramcyk is raising funds for a new boutique hotel in Gowanus, Capital New York reported. The four-story, 82-room hotel will be at 645 Union Street, between Third and Fourth avenues, and will be named Gowanus Inn & Yard, according to an investor memo seen by Capital New York. The memo calls for a $13 million project slated to be completed in 2015, and asks for a further $2.25 million capital infusion. 

Partnering with Abramcyk – best known for Smith & Mills, Super Linda and the Carter Beatrice Inn – is Alec Shtromandel, who was also behind the 43-room Union Hotel on nearby DeGraw Street. The hotel has a third developer, who was not identified.

“The Abramcyk Group is…responsible for the design of all private and public spaces as well as food & beverage development,” the memo goes on to say. “With many years of experience in both restaurant and bar design as well as operational development, it is anticipated that Matt Abramcyk will also serve as a principal of the food & beverage entity which will operate all the hotel’s public spaces.”

Abramcyk declined to comment to Capital New York.

Gowanus is on the fast track to gentrification, with several new hotels and residential projects sprouting up and many others in the pipeline, as The Real Deal previously reported. [Capital New York]  – Hiten Samtani

    Is this a joke? Abramcyk copied his neighbor’s loft above Smith & Mills who is a famous architect, operator and designer. Its turns out the Smith & Mills entire business is illegal. Smith & Mills is operating on a fraud Certificate of Occupancy by falsely claiming his neighbor’s 5000 square foot loft of 30 years was “permanently vacant, boilers and packaging” since Smith & Mills is obstructs the secondary egress for both buildings combined above them who are in the neighbor’s attached 199 square foot single car garage which presents a known fire hazard so no one can live above him.

    4 months after the City inspector issued Smith & Mills a fraud C of O they started a fire. He sued his neighbor with a story that belongs in the movie to prevent the City from investigating what turns out is an illegal business. Matt Abramcyk was caught lying to the judge begining to end and the case was dismissed and not a single record adds up across the board.

    Who would lend him 2 cents? His lawyer David Jaroslawicz’s records were then seized in the Anna Gristina Madam scandal by the Corruption Unit over similar illegal business via real estate holdings hiding behind similar faux llc’s for Abramcyk as Anna Gristina. Who would involve themselves in money laundering via illegal businesses for all the tea in China when this kid couldnt tell the truth or be trusted to save his life? He is a front for EMM.
