Speaking at the quarterly meeting of the Brooklyn Real Estate Round Table at the Brooklyn Historical Society a few minutes ago, Two Trees’ Jed Walentas served up a number of details about the Dumbo-based company’s first foray into North Brooklyn. Fun stuff first: The hotly-anticipated hotel at the corner of North 11th Street and Wythe Avenue in Williamsburg will probably be called The Wythe (though that name is “not 100% set”). The glass-additioned conversion of a former industrial building will have a restaurant on the ground floor as well as a 6th-floor roofdeck bar and restaurant and assorted private event spaces; all the food will be overseen by Andrew Tarlow of Diner, Marlow and Roman’s fame (a can’t-miss proposition in our mind). There will also be a 60-person screening room in the basement. The hotel will open no later than May 1, with the restaurant probably coming out of the gates a few weeks earlier. Acknowledging that the whole project was a bit of a lark and not without risk, Walentas projected average room rates at the beginning at around $200 a night.
