Samir Patel, on January 13, was given a permit for construction of a 66-key, 17,000-square-foot hotel building at 1755 Pitkin Avenue in Brownsville, Brooklyn.

The plans, pre-filed on July 24, 2019, call for the construction of a 74-foot tall, seven-story hotel.

The project is described in the filings as: proposed a seven-story with cellar commercial building for hotel use.

The single-story building that previously occupied the property was demolished in September of 2020.

The property was acquired for $2.7 million on December 18, 2019.
