Manhattan

First the World Trade Center shattered office records for being the tallest skyscraper in New York City. Now, Manhattan’s hotels are hitting new heights, too.

The 70-story, 371,000-square-foot Marriott, located at 1717 Broadway at 54th Street, has topped out, says Ken Colao, president of CNY Builders, the project’s construction manager. The $200 million project, developed by Granite Broadway Development LLC, is the tallest stand-alone hotel in the Western hemisphere. It is over 750 feet in height and has a floor-to-area ratio of 30:1, among the highest ever achieved in New York City.
