Oscar winning actor Robert De Niro, who already owns several restaurants and hotels, has announced plans for The Nobu Hotel Condo in the Financial District.
Plans call for a 62 story glass tower housing 77 condos and 128 hotel rooms (mini-bars stocked with green tea and sake!), with the condo units located on the forty-first floor thru penthouse levels.
The eco-friendly building will include a health club with spa, indoor pool, and an outdoor sun terrace which will be available to both residents and hotel guests. Additionally, the Japanese themed condo-hotel and spa complex will house a Nobu restaurant which will provide room service for guests and residents.
The project will be the second in the chain, and is scheduled to open within the next three years at 45 Broad Street; some industry sources mention that Mr. De Niro will retain Salomonjabez Group to facilitate the expansion of his condo hotel concept in Latin America and the caribe.
