It's Official - The MC is Here to Stay

Plans for The MC hotel were unanimously approved on Monday August 11 by the Montclair Planning Board.

“We are thrilled that the Montclair Planning Board has unanimously voted in favor of The MC hotel, which will be the Township’s first new full-service hotel since the Hotel Montclair, which closed in 1938,” said Brian Stolar, president and CEO, The Pinnacle Companies. “It’s a huge accomplishment for Montclair to attract an Autograph Collection property, a brand for which Marriott seeks out high quality designs in the most desirable locations, even on a global basis.

“We worked closely with the Montclair Planning Board, the Historic Preservation Committee, Township of Montclair planning and zoning staff, as well as other town leaders to make the hotel and surrounding development a true community meeting place,” continued Stolar. “Our design includes a public plaza and two-story public atrium on the corner of Bloomfield and Orange; the combined activity created by the building will extend Montclair’s business center further west, increasing the Township’s economic vitality.”
