The Latest Trends in the NYC Hospitality Industry

Green Hotels Currently in our environmentally-aware society, repurposed NYC landmark properties (including buildings from Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn and Harlem to the Bronx) are undergoing architectural changes and "green" renovations as these sites become destination hotels.

Boutique and Select Service Brands This "attractive" hotel category is becoming increasingly popular with visitors who want to find a hotel matching their lifestyle, travel type (corporate and leisure), and budget.

Mixed Use Developments Mixed use developments seem to be a recurring theme in the contemporary NYC hotel industry. Galerie 515, an 87-room hotel at 511 Ninth Avenue (between 38th and 39th Streets), should open in December 2013. Another mixed use residence-hotel is being built by New Line Structures along the far west side of Manhattan. This thriving corridor of restaurants, shops, and hotels is close to the Theater District, Times Square, the Javits Center, and Hudson Yards development as well as transportation outlets.

2013 Since the beginning of 2013, 16 new hotels with 2,500 new rooms have opened in the Big Apple. The hotel construction boom in Manhattan continued throughout the year.

NYC Neighborhood Hotel Projects

A quarter of the projects under development are outside Manhattan. Innovative plans are underway in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx.

Brooklyn Brooklyn has distinct neighborhoods which are the site of new projects including hotels for Brooklyn Heights, the BAM Arts District, and DUMBO (an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), as well as Williamsburg and close to the new Barclays Arena. The Sydell Group wants to construct a Freehold hotel (and create a hip atmosphere NoMad Hotel) in North Williamsburg across from the Wyeth Hotel.

An unnamed 186-room, 5 suite hotel at 237 Duffield Street Downtown Brooklyn should open in late 2013. Lam Group is developing this new property next to the Hotel Indigo in downtown Brooklyn. The 27-storey green

building will host a bar and lounge as well as a retail space.

As of August 28, Ennismore Capital, owner of East London’s affordable and hip Hoxton Hotel, closed a $17,000,000 deal with the Sydell Group, New York City-based owner, developer, and manager of Manhattan’s NoMad and Ace hotels, for an 18,000-square-foot site at 93-97 Wythe Avenue between North 9th and North 10th streets. Public records do not indicate if brokers were involved in the transaction. Sydell had previously bought the site for $10 million in January. The Group had originally planned to develop the property but decided in the end to accept Ennismore’s attractive offer. Property Shark data points out that the site is zoned to support a hotel development of more than 36,000 square feet. If Ennismore goes in that direction, the new project would join other

neighborhood hotels including Two Trees Management’s Wythe Hotel at 80 Wythe Street and the King & Grove at 160 North 12th Street. As of now, Ennismore has not filed plans for a development with the NYC Department of Buildings. Since it acquired Hoxton in 2012, however, the London firm has been looking for sites in New York City as well as at home. Due to a favorable exchange rate between pounds sterling and U.S. dollars, employing foreign capital can help a developer interested in purchasing U.S. property

Bronx During 2013, this New York City neighborhood had three current hospitality industry projects on the go including new hotels and renovations. One of the Bronx developments is a charming small hotel – another convenient and comfortable option that will be available for visitors to the Big Apple. An additional lodging property – a 37-room Rodeway Inn (sub brand of Choice Hotels) - opened in late May at 3070 Webster Avenue. South Bronx's 60-room boutique Opera House Hotel is the former historic Bronx Opera House. This beautiful Beaux Arts building has seen top legendary performers in the past like George Burns and Houdini. This project in The Hub Shopping District was

developed by The Empire Hotel Group who presently operate seven hotels in New York City.

Queens The NYC borough of Queens seems to hold a tremendous appeal for both corporate and leisure visitors. Brands and boutiques appear to flourish within Queens.

Staten Island Residents and visitors to Staten Island will be able to enjoy new shopping, hotel, and entertainment venues. Corporate or leisure travelers can easily access Staten Island through the ever-increasing availability of ferries and water taxi services.

Fifth/Sixth Avenues

Fashion District Hotel Since Gemini Real Estate Asset Management, the developer of the Gem and Jade hotels Downtown, filed plans at the end of July for a 43,342-square-foot, 19-storey, 114-room Fashion District hotel at 36 West 38th Street, no doubt plans are well underway with the approach of autumn's end.

In January, Gemini bought the hotel site for $13.5 million from Shimshon Klugman’s Quality Capital and Shifra Hager’s Cornell Realty Management. Just six months earlier, the sellers had purchased it for $6.63 million. Gemini has Gem Hotels in Midtown, Chelsea, and Soho.

25-27 West 38th Street Directly across from the Fashion District Hotel at 25-27 West 38th Street, Morris Moinian’s Fortuna Realty Group is developing a 30-storey, 175-room franchised hotel designed by Nobutaka Ashihara. In addition to the location across the street bought by Gemini, Klugman and Hager were also the sellers in this deal. At the end of 2012, Fortuna Realty bought the site for $11.83 million. According to the Real Deal, Moinian describes West 38th Street as a "great hotel corridor a stone’s throw from Fifth Avenue.”

Latest NYC Hotel News

Looking To Sell – London New York Hotel

According to the Real Deal, the Blackstone Group would like to sell its leasehold interest in the 575,241- square-foot, 562-room London New York hotel at 151 West 54th Street for $500,000,000. The multi-national private equity giant has tapped the commercial real estate brokerage firm Eastdil Secured to market the hotel. Blackstone has owned the property since 2004. The fee owner

http://www.blackstone.com/




of the site is the estate of Sol Goldman. Apparently, Blackstone pays about $3.7 million per year in rent and its lease runs for more than a century - 123 years.

Blackstone bought the leasehold for the 54-storey NYC hotel from Lehman Brothers for $193 million ($381,000 per room). Shortly after the sale, Blackstone struck up a new partnership with its own affiliate, Luxury Resorts, and ended the hotel operating agreement with Marriott. Luxury Resorts still runs the establishment. LXR refurbished and repositioned the property. As well, Blackstone's affiliate put $100,000,000 into a renovation under designer David Collins. The transformation was finished in 2007. Chef Gordon Ramsay operates two restaurants (Gordon Ramsey at the London and MAZE by Gordon Ramsey) at the hotel. According to reputable sources, the contract with Luxury Resorts could end after the sale of the hotel.

Blackstone’s global head of real estate, Jonathan Gray, explained that frequently a company's decision to sell is just symptomatic of “the nature of the closed-end fund business” where funds regularly sell off assets after their repositioning has come to completion. The decision to sell the London New York hotel came shortly after the firm made a similar announcement about their London West Hollywood hotel in Beverly Hills and tapped Eastdil for the job in April. Blackstone is also seeking a buyer for the 9,000-square-foot carriage house building at 154 West 55th Street directly connected to the hotel. The property could be converted to for-sale residential units.

The Eastdil brokers representing the site include CEO Roy Hilton March, senior managing director Larry Wolfe, managing director Mark Schoenholtz, and director Michele Mahl.

As well as wanting to sell property, Blackstone has also been buying in the hotel industry. In fact, Blackstone Real Estate Advisors have made a deal with real estate investment trust Hersha Hospitality Trust to purchase 16 U.S. hotels for $217,000,000.

U.S. Hotel Development According to retail maven Faith Hope Consolo of Douglas Elliman, the opening of a hotel – nationwide – can create an increase of between 20% and 40% in retail sales in an area.
