Glassing Up Grand Street

Grand Street is definitely getting glassed. Brack Capital has thrown up the first rendering of its Grand Street Hotel and we are happy to share it with you. The project will bring an additional 114 rooms to the neighborhoods, complete with restaurant, bar and space space. If you would please direct your attention to the roof, you can clearly see a space designed for the rooftop pool. All righty then.

Bonus Tip: Brack has recently signed a deal to do a second downtown hotel project. More details to follow.

Taking a Turn for the Weird

Time for an update from the Grand Street Hotel, the little glass number from Brack Capital. A little birdy checks in, saying "this project is taking a turn for the weird, and seems that this will be an ego play for some over-zealous real estate dorks who decided they want their own hotel. I have also heard they are planning on installing a monster amount of led lights...this thing should be pretty tacky." Hmmm. Or it could just be super green, as LED's can be uber-efficient when used correctly. Either way, it's good to have some background on the place.

BONUS UPDATE: Just for you, we perused Brack Capital's website, learning that the Grand Street Hotel will officially have 114 rooms, and the required restaurant, rooftop pool and bars. That's bars, plural.
