Summary, model-written
Nevele Grande Hotel (1901–2009) closed in 2009. Somerset Partners acquired the site in 2023 for $5M. Current proposal: demolish remnants for a new hotel, 126-unit housing, and regreened landscape. Recent events include a 2024 fire damaging the winter lodge and a 2025 fire consuming the main building.
Why. Status is 'proposed' with housing included in the plan. The site is already in play (sale completed 2023), per record. Ulster County housing market shows 3.6% annual growth (Zillow, 2026).
Where it stands. No construction timeline provided. Peer projects (e.g., Midtown Plaza, Briarcliff Lodge) in NY share similar 'redevelop/regreen' strategies but are not directly comparable due to differing contexts. Fires accelerate demolition needs.
For a planner
- Housing market supports new units (ZHV $451k, +3.6% YoY).
- Fire damage may simplify site clearance.
For a developer
- Sale closed 2023; housing component is confirmed.
- Regreening plan aligns with strategy but lacks detail.
What we do not know yet
- No construction start date or timeline.
- No details on regreening implementation.
- Peer scores (5.0–5.5) don’t indicate success/failure.

Background
The Nevele Grande Hotel (NEV-uh-lee) was a high rise resort hotel located in Wawarsing, New York, United States, just outside Ellenville, New York; it closed in 2009. The Nevele dated back to the days of the Borscht Belt, opening in 1901. “Nevele” is “Eleven” spelled backward — according to lore — after the eleven nineteenth-century schoolteachers who discovered a waterfall within the present-day property. Also (according to family lore), the founder, Charles Slutsky, had eleven children from 1880 to 1906 and the name might have come from that instead. The hotel closed in 2009. A June 2020 report indicated that the "buildings remain, falling apart and with no future of reuse ...
