LOL, I can't even call it skyline filler because its not really filling anything. At least the rooms will have some nice views. We'll be seeing more and more of these hotels popping up around the city, even in the outer boroughs where new hotels have been opening.

“Office buildings are our factories – whether for tech, creative or traditional industries we must continue to grow our modern factories to create new jobs,” said United States Senator Chuck Schumer.

While it is bland an uninspiring, at least it's not offensive like the McSam and Kaufman combination. This building won't be noticed by anyone except us building gurus who follow them. I'm fine with it.
not many physical changes here in awhile, but i saw a ton of materials and a couple dozen workers on the site yesterday on the president's day holiday. here's a look:
The new Fairfield Inn hotel at 161 Front Street has topped-out, and cladding has begun rising on the Peter Poon-designed tower. The building stands 31 stories tall, and the developer is the Lam Group.
161 Front Street has approximately 65,000 square feet of space, and the Fairfield Inn will have 200 rooms. The tower is located on the periphery of the Financial District, standing one block to the south of the South Street Seaport.
....
Completion of the Fairfield Inn is expected later this year.
