The president of the project says they’ll top out the 12-story building next month. The $92 million project will include 243 rooms, dining, and a rooftop bar in the Marriott owned hotel. But it doesn’t stop there. The project also includes turning the city pier building into a restaurant with a patio and retail space, plus a huge makeover to the Harborside Event Center.
