Project Background:
Designed by Helpern Architects and FMC Engineers, the new Hampton Inn is located next to the historic Nederlander Theatre on West 41st Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenues in NYC’s Theatre District. The building has a brick and limestone façade, with cantilevered bays at the 7th, 12th, 17th, and 22nd floors that provide extra space to accommodate handicap accessible room layouts. Completed in late 2015, the new 31-story, 299-room Hampton Inn in Times Square achieved LEED-Silver certification under the LEED New Construction program within the BD+C Rating System.
