The financial crisis halts a planned Shangri-La hotel tower
Developers Aby Rosen and Michael Fuchs had planned a tower at 100 East 53rd Street combining condominiums with a Shangri-La hotel. The 2008 financial crisis and the downturn in residential real estate put construction on indefinite hold in 2009, and the hotel idea was later dropped. Rosen and Fuchs of RFR Holding regained control of the site in March 2012 and announced they would carry on with the project.
