Dream Downtown

The New Dream Hotel in New York City

Currently under construction and set to open in 2011, the Dream Downtown by hotelier Vikram Chatwal will feature 316 boutique style rooms. The bright reflective building is already on its way to making a mark on the neighborhood. The new hotel will be located at 346 West 17th Street between 8th and 9th, only a few blocks from the recently unveiled High Line in Chelsea. The Original Structure by Albert Leidner has been converted by Frank Fusaro of Handel Architects, from what was once a homeless shelter now is becoming a world-class hotel.

Zahner was selected due to our firm's expertise in the production of complex engineering and fabrication, as well as our longstanding expertise in our selection of the finest sheet metal surfaces. The Dream Downtown has both, featuring the DreamCatcher finish by Rimex, a brushed stainless with medium reflectivity.

The complex engineering of the architect's drawings required a series of "portholes" on the face of the building, dozens of circular windows cut into the buildings surface. The siding for these apertures are also clad with the same surface, so Zahner played a large role in engineering these holes to fit. Zahner is responsible to both the architects as well as the contractor McGowan Builders.
