The firm is the developer and ground lessor of the property located at 338 West 39th St. in Times Square West where Barone is building a 177-room CR7 by Pestana Hotel for Portuguese-based Pestana Group. Thissite will be the second of many hotels planned in the United States and will serve as the hotel group’s US flagship. The announcement was made by Barone Management Founder and President Scott Barone.
“We’re excited to bring the Pestana brand and all of its exceptional attributes to New York City,” says Barone. “We pride ourselves on being able to connect high-profile operators with great assets. 338 West 39th Street offers Pestana the ideal location to launch its unique product and also serve as the hotel operator's US flagship.”
