Finishing touches are wrapping up on the Virgin Hotel, a 38-story tower at 1225 Broadway in NoMad.

Located in Westchester County, the project represents more than $36 million of public-private investment led by DG Design + Construction and partner Smith & Henzy Affordable Group, the property’s current owners.
