I sure wish there were more details on this.
Austin55,
I did a quick permit search and found some info on the current non-hotel work going on at 810 Houston. Would appear the same architect that did AC Hotel is also doing the Sandman. Would appear they are needing to go before the DDRB too and provide further documentation according to the Commercial New Accessory Structure Plan Review Comments....application submitted 10/26/20.
