In the Heights, Hotel Bossert Preps for 61 Condos by 2028

Development firm SomeraRoad, led by Brooklyn Heights resident Ian Ross, is moving forward with plans to convert the famed Hotel Bossert into 61 residential condos and commercial space. The firm purchased the 117-year-old landmark for $100 million in May 2025 following years of foreclosure proceedings and failed attempts by previous owners to reopen it as a hotel.

Construction is currently underway, with work focused on interior demolition and restoration. The project features designs by SLCE Architects and includes a new ground-floor restaurant from Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group. Recent presentations to the Landmarks Preservation Commission detailed plans for rooftop additions, though commissioners have requested design revisions to ensure the new structures remain appropriate for the historic building.
