Fitzpatrick to Build in New York City
NEW YORK, NY, October 28, 2005. The Fitzpatrick U.S. Hotel Group plans to build a new Midtown hotel, a step that may help meet growing demand for rooms in Manhattan.
The $500 million hotel and residential project at West 29th Street and Sixth Avenue is being developed by J.D. Carlisle Development Corp. The site is currently a parking lot.
The 250-room hotel will be managed by the Ireland-based Fitzpatrick group, which owns and manages two other properties in Manhattan. It is expected to open in 2009 and will include a 7,000 square foot outdoor terrace with a swimming pool.
An investor group put together by Cathal McGinley, managing director of KMS Commercial, is raising the funds for the building and will handle the sale of residential units.
McGinley said this joint venture represents the beginning of a five-year expansion plan of the Fitzpatrick hotel brand in the U.S.
