8:00 am on March 30, 2025 By Michael Young

Renovation work is underway on 1605 Broadway, a 46-story hotel tower in Times Square, Manhattan. The 480-foot-tall building originally opened in 1989 as the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza Manhattan and most recently operated as the 800-room Crowne Plaza Times Square before closing at the end of 2024. The building has since sat vacant with only the retail tenants left operating on the ground floor. Gensler is the architect and interiors designer for the property overhaul, which is planned to reopen later this year as the Hyatt Regency Times Square with 795 guest rooms and 159 enclosed parking spots. Argent Ventures under the Times Square JV, LLC  is listed as the owner of the development, which is located between West 48th and 49th Streets.
