Wanted: Developer for a JFK boutique hotel
Developers are being sought for plans that would turn the vacant TWA terminal at New York's Kennedy Airport into the centerpiece of a boutique hotel.
The once-glamorous terminal was designed by Modernist Eero Saarinen, whose works include the St. Louis Gateway Arch.
The Port Authority envisions a 150-room hotel in the space between the old TWA terminal and the new JetBlue building.
Executive Director Chris Ward tells The Wall Street Journal that the plans could result in a hotel with the "hippest, coolest-looking front office." The agency says construction could finish two years after a developer is signed.
Some hurdles remain. The TWA terminal is a New York City landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. - AP
