Construction Pipeline Spurts to the Upside as Marriott Delivers Big Gains

  
PORTSMOUTH, NH – Lodging Econometris reports that after being locked in a bottoming formation for nine quarters, the Construction Pipeline increased in 2013 to 3,020 Projects/ 382,958 Rooms, a Year-Over-Year (YOY) increase of 10% by projects and 12% by rooms.

 It's the first YOY double-digit increase since before the recession.

The volume bounce from the 2Q11 bottom is significant because it starts the second leg of the new real estate cycle where Pipeline growth is expected to steadily increase as single asset and portfolio selling prices are now at record highs, signaling the point where it will be cheaper to build new hotels than to buy existing ones.
