Originally a Beaux-Arts building in the 20th century and later used as a ferry terminal, the landmarked Battery Maritime Building will now be reimagined into a hotel, event space and Cipriani rooftop restaurant. EP Engineering has partnered with Midtown Equities and Marvel Architects on the design for the historic project located at 10 South Street. Some exciting highlights of the development: the ground floor Great Hall, served by a spacious 2,500 sf kitchen, which will be utilized for events and the hotel patrons. The second floor will include a 400 sf café and a 5,000 sf spa for hotel guests. There will be an additional 1,400 sf kitchen on the fifth floor to accommodate the Cipriani’s members only club and rooftop. Other features include high efficiency gas fired rooftop units, make up air units, VRF split system air conditioning units capable of simultaneous heating and cooling, grease interceptors and instantaneous hot water boilers for the kitchens.
