In a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the redevelopment of a historic building originally constructed in 1928 as one of the early Hilton Hotels. The property, which has undergone various transformations, including a conversion to office space, is now set to return to a quasi-residential use.

Key points of the redevelopment plan include the removal of solid pane tinted glass windows in favor of new windows that will reflect the building's historic character. The proposed windows are expected to feature a more traditional design, potentially including multiple panes in the upper sash, aligning with the building's original aesthetic.

Concerns were raised regarding the lack of detailed plans provided by the applicant, particularly regarding the specifications of the new windows and the design of the penthouse on the top floor. Additionally, there was a call for more information about the ground floor's storefront and signage plans, which were not adequately detailed in the submitted materials.

The meeting highlighted a positive shift towards restoring the building's historical integrity while adapting it for modern residential use. Further inquiries will be made to the applicant to clarify these aspects of the project.
