The developers of the proposed Hyatt Centric hotel at the
current site of Little Pete's restaurant near Rittenhouse Square are moving
forward with their project, with plans to present the development next month to
the city's design-review board.
Chancellor Hotel Associates' latest plan for the project
at 17th and Chancellor Streets is scheduled for a Civic Design Review hearing
on Oct. 4, according to an agenda posted to the board's website Wednesday.
Chancellor said in October that the 309-guest-room hotel
would be developed under Hyatt's boutique Centric flag after initially planning
to build it as a Hudson Hotel-branded property. Changes to the design for the
13-story project since its most recent iterations include the removal of a
planned rooftop restaurant, according to the plans.
The hotel would displace a parking structure that
currently accommodates Little Pete's on its ground floor.
Pete's owner Pete Koutroubas said in an
interview that expects to get official notification in October that he has nine
months to leave, per terms of his lease.
He said he is looking in the Rittenhouse Square area for
a new location, but may not be able to find something affordable.
