Brownstoner reports in Sneakers Out, Minibars in at 237 Duffield Street:
This rendering of a 22-story, 107-room hotel to replace the VIM store at 237 Duffield Street recently just popped up on the Karl Fischer website. According to the site, the 108,000-square-foot building is scheduled to cost $40 million and be completed in 2008. That timeline seems a stretch given that there's not even an application for demolition listed on the DOB website.
