Excavation is underway at 4279 Third Avenue, the site of a nine-story Holiday Inn Express by InterContinental Hotels in the Belmont section of The Bronx. Designed by Michael Kang Architect and developed by Neelam Chadha, the 172-foot-tall structure will span 43,789 square feet and yield 86 guest rooms. Supreme Builders Corp. is the general contractor and 2918 Arnow Real Estate Group is the owner of the 6,229-square-foot property, which is bound by Third Avenue to the east, Park Avenue to the west, and East 188th Street to the south.
Recent photos show a lone excavator at work on the triangular plot, which formerly housed an open-air parking lot.

No renderings have been released for the project apart from the below elevation diagrams, which show the eastern side facing Third Avenue and the western profile facing Park Avenue. The façade is largely composed of red and black brick framing a grid of windows with PTAC louvers. Limestone panels enclose the first floor, and dark paneling clads the northern corner. A canopy is planned to protrude over the main entrance on Third Avenue.
The ground floor shows a height of 10 feet, while levels two through nine will have ceiling spans of just over nine feet. The building will feature a roof terrace lined with glass railings, and a mechanical bulkhead clad with beige stucco. Signage for the Holiday Inn Express will be placed at the ground floor and on the top level of the eastern wall.

Goodlord is that MS Paint?
I think it’s Revit.
Oh boy, another triangle!
Then I saw the drawings. It’s a very Holiday Inn Express…
With few exceptions, like 45 Broad, thw phrase “…appears to still match the colored schematics from 2016” isn’t necessarily a welcome one.
