A boutique hotel for Chestnut Street?
That's what I'm hearing about 1525 Chestnut St.
This one is way, way under the radar:
The Pomerantz building, which juts to the sky on the otherwise low-slung 1500 block of Chestnut Street, is being positioned as a boutique hotel with a bi-level restaurant on the top floors.
Corporate records connected to a liquor license recently posted on the long-closed building at 1525 Chestnut St. identify the principals as Diaa Sawan and his family. The building's owner is a corporation at the Sawan home.
They own Vango, a club on 18th Street.
I'll update when someone returns my call.
