Ismael Leyva to design Fortuna’s new Midtown Hotel
40-story, 300-key hotel yet to be named, will total 162,000 sf
Morris Moinian’s Fortuna Realty Group has selected Ismael Leyva Architects to design its new Midtown hotel at 1150 Sixth Avenue.
The 40-story, 300-key hotel, which has yet to be named, will total 162,000 square feet and include penthouse and lower-tower suites with “expansive” rear terraces, Fortuna announced Monday.
The project, located between West 44th and West 45th Streets, will also feature a rooftop bar with 360-degree views and garden terraces. The ground level will house a lounge, bar and “marquee” restaurant while the second floor will include a ballroom.
Moinian purchased the site of the former Pan American Magazine Building for $39 million in 2011. The developer opened the 122-key Hotel Hugo in Hudson Square last year. – Rey Mashayekhi
