“In addition to the building movement, water penetration was evident in the 80 Warren Street cellar and minor cracks were visible in their apartment walls,” the hotel’s documents say. The hotel’s contractors then installed 40 ties to the building to stabilize its outer wall, yet movement continued. Construction then continued with the revised plan and the hotel opened in February 2024 with 69 rooms and 12 residential units on the top floors. The increase in floor area would bring the hotel’s total mass to 10,967 square feet of residential floor area and 46,462 square feet of commercial floor area. “Without relief, the hotel’s ability to operate as a viable hotel is severely constrained.”
