232-foot, 21-story postmodern hotel completed in 2014. Designed by Peter Poon, it is clad in glass and red and dark-grey brick, set far back from the streetwall. The ground floor, in grey brick, metal and glass, is topped by a large metal and translucent glass canopy that covers the whole front courtyard area created by the setback. The courtyard is filled with various seating, tables, and planter boxes.

The main facade is five bays wide, with the end bays set slightly further back. The piers around the end bays, and the two piers separating the three middle bays are accented with vertical bands of dark brick. Each window unit has a vertical stripe of darker glass - centered at the middle bay, and offset to the outside in the other four bays. At the 15th floor, the design of the piers changes: the red brick ends, leaving only the narrower dark-grey brick to extend up the roof line. At the end bays, the vertical dark-glass band shifts to the inner side, replaced at the outer side by a red brick band. There are also two vertical bands splitting the windows in the two bays flanking the center bay - but these alternate every other floor between the red brick at the inner or outer position. Above the roof line, a tall mechanical penthouse rises up; there is also a rooftop bar called Spyglass.

The hotel has 180 guest rooms, and a restaurant called Fabrick.
