The hotel, at a potential height of 95 feet, is proposed for 30-17 31st Street, a lot sitting under the elevates train tracks, and near the 30 Avenue Station.

Records show that 13,529 square-feet would be devoted to commercial and hotel space, where the first floor would hold a retail store in the hotel lobby and lounge while 48 units would be spread out on seven floors.

An ambulatory diagnostic or a healthcare office would take up two of the building’s floors in the proposed plan, making up 5.544 square-feet of space.
