Holiday Inn Express under construction at Gowanus
The recent stories about all the new hotels under construction in New York City somehow left off an eight-story, 116-room Holiday Inn Express planned for Brooklyn. Possibly because it will feature "expansive views of the Gowanus Canal," according to the Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill Courier.
Originally approved at five-stories and 76 rooms, the city has approved construction for the higher height and some residents of the semi-industrial neighborhood are complaining.
Constuction is already underway at the site, 625 Union Street, between Third and Fourth Avenues. It's not a very pretty neighborhood, but it will be just half a block from the W/R and M trains and a few blocks below the bustle of Park Slope.
