Some six months since the development team behind the Residence Inn by Marriott was granted more IDA benefits due to ballooning costs, the four-story building is now fully taking shape.
The 143-room, extended stay hotel is being built at 500 Broadhollow Road, just south of Exit 49 off the Long Island Expressway.
Once open, the hotel will cater to longer stays, providing suites with full kitchens and larger living spaces.
It’s being developed over three acres, land that last played host to a vacated industrial building that had fallen into disrepair and was demolished. The building previously housed a jewelry manufacturing company, according to prior GLI reports.
According to Long Island Business News, the land hotel is being built by Broadhollow Road Hotel LLC, with the majority owner being Giaquinto Management.
Minority owners include Garone Management, George Tsunis and former U.S. Senator Alfonse D’Amato, among others.
The Town of Huntington in 2022 approved a zoning change and parking variance to move the project along.
No planned opening date has been made public.
