REVIVE: STATUS ON THE VICTORIA HOTEL

Back in 2012, plans of a hotel and affordable rentals were revealed for the development of The Victoria Theater on 125th Street but the site just east of 8th Avenue still pretty much looks the same today so what is actually going on?
Permits were reportedly filed for the two towers just over a year ago but it appears that some amendments delayed things a bit longer.  DOB paperwork has recently been approved over the summer and the 28-story adaptive reuse construction has been given the green light to proceed. Groundbreaking was initially set for 2013 but for some reason it always takes double the time on 125th Street to get a project on schedule.  Check out what the adaptive reuse design will actually look like from the rendering in our past post: LINK
