The developer, 6M Development, plans a single oceanfront building in Seaside Heights at Ocean Terrace and Lincoln Avenue. It would hold 135 hotel rooms and 55 condominium units. It would also have a restaurant and bar, a banquet and event space, a pool deck, a ground-level commercial space and a three-story parking deck. Local news describes it as about nine stories of use, in a building around 102 feet tall.
The site, about 1.5 acres, now has three older motels: the Surfside, Glendale and Dry Dock. Earlier plans, under the name Hotel Cinazza, called for 180 rooms. The design was later reduced to 135 rooms plus condos.
Local news reported that the borough planning board approved the site plan in March 2025. The reports said the vote was unanimous and no members of the public objected.
What it could mean nearby
- Replaces three older motels with a larger hotel, condo and event complex on the oceanfront.
- Adds 55 condominium homes and a banquet venue meant to draw visitors outside the peak summer season.
- A three-story parking deck is included on site, which may limit street parking demand, though no traffic study was found.
- At around 102 feet, it would be a tall building for the area.
