Let’s get the elephant in the room addressed. These images portray the rosy, media-friendly goal for the forthcoming Ace Hotel at 225 Bowery. Take a gander, as this could be the future of the 106-year-old relic. Upon conversion, the building will house two hundred guest rooms, a 130-seat restaurant, rooftop bar, and fitness center.
The multi-million-dollar “faux hostel” project is in the hands of co-developers David Paz (aka Omnia Group) and the North Wind Group. These renderings come courtesy of the HAKS engineering firm on the project.
Behind the scenes, meanwhile, this development is a clusterfuck. As previously reported, the most significant architectural change to the former Salvation Army building is the construction of a 37-foot tumor to feature more rooms and a rooftop terrace. However, the added floor area comes at the expense of 223 Bowery, razed last month for zoning compliance at the order of a mysterious handwritten rescind letter from DOB (i.e. 225 Bowery is actually overbuilt).
