- Hyatt hires Hall Structured Finance for U.S. financing.
- Developers can access financing for construction.
- Program offers higher leverage than conventional loans.
HYATT HOTELS CORP. contracted Hall Structured Finance to provide financing for Hyatt Studios new-build developments in the U.S. The program helps developers address financing challenges by improving access to capital, accelerating project timelines and supporting new construction starts.
Hyatt Studios’ developers can access financing to support project execution and construction starts, Hyatt said in a statement. The program offers potentially higher leverage than conventional loans at market rates, subject to underwriting and project qualifications.
“We are proud to collaborate with Hyatt to support the continued growth of the Hyatt Studios brand, purpose-built for today’s extended-stay demand,” said Mark Klipsch, HSF president. “In a challenging financing environment, we believe this will accelerate high-quality new-build projects. We look forward to leveraging our hospitality lending expertise to help developers bring Hyatt projects to market and support the brand’s continued expansion.”
Dan Hansen, Hyatt’s global head of growth strategy and operations, said the company continues to see strong interest in the Hyatt Studios brand from developers across the U.S. and that securing capital can help move projects from concept to reality.
“This dedicated loan program with HSF reflects Hyatt’s commitment to supporting developers beyond the brand itself,” he said. “By creating additional financing opportunities for qualified projects, we can help owners move forward with greater confidence and speed to bring Hyatt Studios locations to more U.S. markets.”
Hyatt ended 2025 with its highest U.S. room signings in five years, up 30 percent from 2024, with half in new markets. Growth was driven by activity across its five brands and its loyalty program, which has more than 63 million members. Hyatt Studios, launched in 2023 April, is an extended-stay brand.
It hired more than 12,000 Opportunity Youth worldwide through its RiseHY initiative from 2018 to 2025, surpassing its goal of 10,000 hires by 2025. The program works with community groups and public agencies to provide training and employment across its global portfolio.
