This transaction paves the way for the $220 million re-development of 330 Hudson St. to create a 410,000 rentable s/f property encompassing a luxury boutique hotel, class A office space and retail opportunities in the Hudson Square neighborhood. The announcement was made by Bill Brodsky a principal of Tribeca Associates, Craig Solomon, a principal of real estate fund manager Square Mile, The Rev.

Designed by architects Brennan Beer Gorman, 330 Hudson St. will incorporate the redevelopment of the existing eight-story, vacant structure with the addition of an environmentally sensitive glass and brick tower that will bring the entire project to a total of 22 stories. The property will be comprised of 292,000 s/f of rentable office space, 15,000 s/f of retail space, and a 171-key luxury boutique hotel. The development will offer one of the largest contiguous blocks of class A office space in the Midtown South market, and also bring the first hotel to the heart of Hudson Sq.
According to Tribeca Associates principal Drew Conner, construction will begin on 330 Hudson St. in October. The commercial space is slated for delivery for tenant construction in January of 2009.
