The area, a historical section of Manhattan is where many immigrants first settled and established neighborhoods, continues to retain its charm of low-rise buildings while making way for future projects, like the hotel Ludlow. The exterior design of the hotel respects the essence of the existing buildings on the block rising to an initial six stories high. The remaining 14 stories are set further back from the facade, which continues to create the same visual sense of scale on the narrow tree lined streets.
