Trading 2 for $90 New Balance for a New Hotel
FD Rich may have delayed their Ritz Carlton Project but that doesn't mean they aren't out there looking to make some moves. Out goes the tiny sneaker store on Atlantic St and in with a 15 story expansion of the Courtyard Marriott Hotel. The building is also slated to have restaurant space and a rental apartments. Check out some of the renderings.
From Atlantic St looking South:
From Atlantic St looking North:
From Broad St:
While the Courtyard is going up, Rich's other project behind the east side of the mall looks to have been truncated. Haven't been drinking your milk I take it Luxe.

After:
What do you think? My first impression is the Courtyard might want to lend a few stories to the Luxe.

Could they have found a smaller freakin' footprint to build on?? Sheesh!
JR, I also just realized they'll be knocking down that Thai place on Bedford for this too. Don't you dig that place?
That Hotel is a very nice place
i like it. It needs to be bigger, they are full all the time.they have to buld it somewhere, I hope they help move that sneaker store.that guy has some great nouthface stuff.
Wow, that Courtyard will be quite a change. My office is on Atlantic and looks right out on the Palace. I'm all for progress, and I agree that a larger Courtyard will be good for downtown -- let's hope they fix the parking too -- the valet parking area on Summer backs up terribly...
You're right, this will displace Galangal, my favorite downtown Thai joint (Kit's is my #1 overall). BOOO!! I'm going to chain myself to the door with pad thai noodles when they try to demolish the building.
I like it!
sorry about Galangal and the kicks store tho :(

Yun. Not so fast my friend
Galangal and the Kicks store (Yun is it?) should just move over to the vacant storefronts on Bedford Street. Make that a negotiation point from jump, if they really want it that is.
It's their best bet as they would keep their same clientele duh....
