Permits have been filed for a new 30-story hotel at 112 Liberty Street, in the Financial District. The site sits directly across from 150 Greenwich Street and the World Trade Center complex by the intersection of Church Street and Liberty Street. It will be designed by Stonehill & Taylor Architects and yield around 92,300 square feet of newly built space. Demolition of the current low-rise buildings will have to begin before excavation and construction on the new skyscraper can begin. The new skyscraper is proposed to be 327 feet tall and will be the tallest building on that parcel of land.
The lot size is about 6,200 square feet and the structure will be made with reinforced concrete. A total of 230 hotel rooms are expected to be created. Views of Zuccotti Park to the east and Liberty Park to the west would be obtainable from the higher floors.
A completion date and hotel tenant has not been announced yet for 112 Liberty Street. Eddie Hidary of 112 Liberty Associates LLC is listed as the site’s developer.

Please pardon me for using your space: Deer and crocodile stand to see your project reported, rabbit and gecko feel good to stand still on new development. (Thank you)
What?
Btw David this time comment is suitable for this crappy WTC#5 replacement!!!
Now we can say that plans for built Tower #5 for WTC is fully scrapped!!! Next time we built hotel “from reinforced concrete” on site of WTC #2 Tower!!!
Now we have a new architectural style, “from reinforced concrete”, a full and very selfdescribed. I think new hotel will be a replica of “reunforced concrete structure” standing on the corner of 9th Avenue and 41-42nd street. Also 30 story and have a 2 story podium, bare reinforced concrete with glassy windows, wow!!! Deer and Crocodile with Iguana standing watching this project completing, btw this monster on 9th Avenue, was built with construction delays, over three years!!! Really probably rabbit and squarel watching this project, the architect of this was fully impressed with architecture of postwar East Berlin, 1960′ minimalist and concrete flats, from “reinforced concrete” too!!!
So, is this a site of previous WTC Tower 5???
Then interesting to see that this hotel, 30 story will be significant project for this mostly supertall project of WTC, (3 tower constructed 977′-1368′ height to rooftop) and another supertall planned for WTC #2.
7 WTC is 741′ and this site original WTC #5 was sought be as tall as 7 WTC. So, WTC #5 fully scrapped, since 30 story hotel is no way more than half of this height, 1/2 of 740′ or just 380′ or less. At least this hotel must be finished as postmodern with art deco elements. And why not. This is WTC Site, the most sacred site in NYC where the most wicked act of 9/11 tragedy occurred by World’s one of most Evil terrorist group!!!
Ps, Deco’s inspired Hotel will be suitable for WTC #5 site, even at 30 floors only!!!
Article is over impressive feeling, like this place somewhere in Sheepshead Bay or Bay Ridge instead of being on the site of planned and now fully scrapped WTC #5 740′ mammoth!!! 30 story at 327′ with neighbor’s such as 912′ and 627′ residential and hotels, where Four WTC, 977′, Three WTC, 1075′, and One WTC, 1368/1776′ standing within 500 feet distance from this thin toothpick of just 327′, and you called this as a “skyscraper”!? “Skyscraper” maybe elsewhere, but not next to this one of tallest superblocks in the City!!!
Even “Skyscraper” on Sheepshead Bay a few feet taller than this, at 331 feet!!!
At least this “hotel skyscraper” or whatever you call such not so tall structure here, would be built as true significant structure with resemblance of History of FiDi District of Manhattan, it could be in Deco’s wrapping, or have elements of Industrial Past. Don’t built just plain concrete framed in glass toothpick like those plenty in neighborhood surrounded PABT on 42nd Street!!! Wait, we ready have 18 story un-impressive New World Hotel and 31 story Marriot next to 125 Liberty 912′ rounded corner glass tower, what was loosing his crown being proposed 400 feet taller. Now we have Site #5 WTC victim slashed more than 400′ from 740’…
NIMBY biggest victory, now and officially, WTC#5 Skyscraper will not be built, instead it will be 30 story “8th Avenue and 40 street style” hotel. The name as “Fidi’s Concrete” will be fully fit for this “concreto-monstrosity”. I heard before that this Site destined to be hotel at least as tall as 50 stories. Now we ruined this block of nice Burger King restaurant, with restrooms, just across Zucotti Park, survived WTC destruction, with nice Historical Fire Station, with wall memorial for fallen firefighters… Good neighbor for soulless 31 story Marriott in the same block. And new another soulless hotel will be slightly taller for few feet. A Mecca for tourist, staying next to WTC in cheap crappy piece of tiniest hotel rooms in planet!!!
The Tallest in the World Rodeway Inn!!!
