"This is the first of what will be many positive and productive developments that take advantage of Jamaica's unique transportation assets for the benefit of all those who live, work and visit the area," Greater Jamaica president Carlisle Towery said.
The 240-room hotel will rise 24 stories across from the Air Train on Sutphin Blvd. — a 10-minute ride to JFK Airport and a 22-minute commute to midtown Manhattan via the Long Island Rail Road, Towery said.
Officials hope the 4-star hotel will lure business travelers and others to the once-rundown area that is now being redeveloped into a destination.
