The 10-story, 193-room "1 Hotel BBP" looms over Brooklyn Bridge Park. The bouncy walkway and Squibb Park have been closed during this phase of construction.

According to the 1 Hotel website, 1 Hotel BBP will be nature-themed: "A place to experience the sensual goodness that comes from the use of reclaimed materials, the freshest organic ingredients and a considered way of doing things."

The hotel will "host indoor and outdoor restaurants using local, organic ingredients, a rooftop terrace, banquet and meeting space, an outdoor pool, spa and fitness center and retail outlets. Brooklyn Bridge Park, which itself represents a unique combination of sustainable preservation amid a vibrant urban environment, provides the perfect location for 1."
