In 2014, investors Issac Chetrit and Charles Aini acquired, for $268 million, the 24-story, 415,000-square-foot multi-use commercial building at 1412 Broadway and the three-story, 7,000-square-foot retail property at 1420 Broadway. The buildings are located at the corner of West 39th Street. Now, the property owners have disclosed plans to redevelop the three-story retail building into a roughly 15-story, 80-key hotel, The Real Deal reported. The 2,286-square-foot property can accommodate up to 34,290 square feet of commercial development. The existing property is triple-net leased through 2020, which means construction won’t begin until the lease expires and the tenants vacate the premises. The eventual hotel building will connect to the retail component of 1420 Broadway through the ground floor. Plans have not yet been filed with the Buildings Department.
