Past and current successful projects include The Beekman Hotel and Residences (also a Thompson Hotel), Ace Hotel Brooklyn, Ace Hotel New York and The James New York Nomad, among others. GFI also has multiple projects outside of New York, primarily in Florida including the Ritz-Carlton Residences, Miami Beach.
