Poon is designing a new 21-story hotel at 132 West 27th Street in Chelesa.
The site is currently a 120-foot-wide parking lot at 132-142 West 27th Street. The 124,934-square-foot hotel will have 313 rooms, according to the plan exam application filed December 23rd.
Artimus Construction purchased the lot between Sixth and Seventh avenues for $35 million in July, The Real Deal reported.
The parking lot operator has a lease through March 2014. The property, which originally asked $37.5 million, went on the market in October 2012, according to The Real Deal.
