YESS Commissions DiGuiseppe Architect for NYC Project
WHITE PLAINS, NY, October 2, 2007. The Yess Property Group last week signed a formal contract with DiGuiseppe Architect to undertake the interior design for a non-typical Hampton Inn in Long Island City, New York. The property group is looking to establish a long term relationship with DiGuiseppe Architect for a number of hotel projects in the New York area, including Manhattan.
The Long Island City Hampton Inn will be 182 rooms with an area for ground floor retail space. Construction is set to begin in February, 2008.
Anthony DiGuiseppe, the principal of DiGuiseppe Architect, said:"Long Island City is an up and coming area, especially for hotels. With this hotel we are going to really push the Hampton Inn brand past its traditional design scheme. We want to make it a vibrant, young hotel that will fit with the local area.
"The Yess Property Group is going to be an excellent partner for our firm. They have big plans for development in New York, and I think our extensive experience in hotel design will be a big component of their future success."
