Early work is being done at the site where the W Hotel
will be developed.
|
Preliminary work has begun on the $280 million W Hotel at
1441 Chestnut St. in Center City.
Tutor Perini Building Corp. has equipment on the site and
is readying it for the 52-story tower that will total 780,000 square feet. Once
completed, it will have 700 rooms of which 240 rooms will be dedicated under
the W Hotel flag and 460 rooms under the Element by Westin flag.
It's early in the process. "We're looking at
sensitive areas of the foundation before we dig the entire hole," said
Matt Morgan of Tutor Perini's Philadelphia office. "We could start as
early as next month depending on what they find."
It definitely is moving forward. Chestlen Development, an
entity controlled by Brook Lenfest, is the developer. The hotel is expected to
be completed by October 2017.
