We just got an email tip about the ever changing status of Loft Hotel Tribeca.

If you are following along, Loft is/was Sam Chang's Tribeca hotel project that was suppose to open back in April of 2006, promising would be guests "to have a unique refuge of timeless comfort, service with unrivaled care, and courtesy that is not found elsewhere." Here we are in December, still waiting for timeless comfort in Tribeca.

The latest:

Sam Chang has sold the building to Robert Winston of Winston Hotels who is leasing it to Hilton Garden Inn to operate.

There have been many delays with the construction schedule, the hotel is now due to open Spring 07.

Meanwhile about 90% of the ground floor, equal to about 4,000SF, has been rented to a company called 6 York Street.
6 York Street is made up of restaurateurs Shaol Natan (Restaurant Thalia) and Jeremy Cassilli (Lobby & Accapella)
They plan to open a restaurant and cafe called CleaverHouse designed by a company called a.k.a. (Angel Kunnos Associates)

The chef will be Mathieu Palombino of BLT Fish and David Bouley.

a.k.a. is also currently working on a new hotel project in Chelsea, Manhattan, apparently all information is confidential.

So there you have it. New link, renderings (above), and web site seems to verify this news.
