NYC Hotel Construction - Gaining Ground

Hotel News Developments NYC

The current New York City hotel construction scene bears no resemblance to the state of the industry during the recession. Various investors (management firms, private equity companies, hedge funds) are gaining ground in the NYC hospitality sector during 2011. New York City hotel investment is no longer just for a few primary real estate investment trusts.

Hotels in the Big Apple are been built at an unsurpassed pace. Indeed, over 50% of the hotels planned for this year have already opened in New York City. Several openings were delayed but still managed to be ready in either spring, summer, or early autumn. Additional hotel construction will continue in late 2011 and into the New Year.
