The builders behind Duffield Street’s half-finished Hotel Indigo revealed renderings this week for another boutique hotel [at 231 Duffield].The New York Post is a little worse- here is what they published on the same day:
Ground will be broken next week on a 19-story, 130-room boutique hotel on Duffield Street between Willoughby and Fulton streets, Long Island City-based V3 Hotels said yesterday.I contacted NY Post author Rich Calder to tell him that his story has some errors, but the paper did not change anything.
Hotel Indigo, also built by V3.... is to be completed by the end of the year.
