Full demo permits have been filed for three one-story structures at 2686-2690 Broadway on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Located at the intersection of West 103rd Street and Broadway, the buildings once housed the Marrakech Hotel, which was partially demolished after the previous owner was fined for illegally converting residential units into hotel rooms. Toll Brothers is listed as the owner of the site under the 2686-2690 Broadway LLC, after purchasing the property in 2019 for $44 million.
Construction is closing in on topping out at 450 Eleventh Avenue, a 642-foot-tall Aloft Hotel in Hudson Yards.

The Midtown property is located at the corner of West 37th Street and Eleventh Avenue, directly across from the Jacob K. Javits Center, and is expected to cost around $368 million.
