Developers seek redesign approval for Newport Pier restaurant; commission OKs cantilever walkway application
Summary
Owners of the Newport Hotel and Pier presented a multi‑phase renovation of the pier’s restaurant space and a shading/circulation concept. The commission signaled support for staff to apply to the state for a cantilevered pedestrian walkway and asked architects to refine the shading design to preserve ocean views.
Eddie Horowitz, representing Pier Restaurant Associates (the hotel operator), and architect Malcolm Berg of EOA presented a multi‑phase renovation concept for the Newport pier restaurant and adjacent pier deck.
Horowitz described the pier as a longtime community landmark and said the hotel’s renovation (the project rebrands the property as “the Sunny”) includes a long‑term vision for the pier as an extension of the hotel’s public amenity. He said the team had identified a culinary operator that the hotel believes will create an ‘‘elevated Florida fish shack’’ concept serving residents and guests.
