The honor recognizes a company for its hotel development in
strategic locations and construction quality and efficiency. Concord was
one of only 10 companies honored at Hyatt’s global owner’s conference held in
Orlando.
“We are privileged to have a strong
network of owner relationships around the world,” said Mark Hoplamazian,
Hyatt’s CEO. “Concord has proven to be a valued collaborator with a strong
history of quality projects.
“We thank them for their contribution to our company and
for their support for our brands, and we look forward to continuing to grow
together with them in ways that create mutual value.”
Concord was singled out for both
its current Hyatt projects, as well as hotels under development. As
an owner, operator and developer of both Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels,
Concord Hospitality currently manages Hyatt Place Grand Rapids-South,
one of the first LEED-certified Hyatt Place hotels, in Wyoming, Mich. and Hyatt
House Boulder/ Broomfield in Broomfield, Colo.

Raleigh, N.C., and Jersey City, N.J., as well as a Hyatt Place hotel in Miami.
“Hyatt works with some of the
most respected hotel owners and developers in the world,” said Jim Chu,
senior vice president, franchise and owner relations for Hyatt.
“Concord’s demonstrated leadership
in developing LEED-certified hotels puts them at the forefront of our
industry. We look forward to continuing the momentum with Concord to
strengthen our representation in the full service, select service and extended
stay segments in North America.”

some of the most respected developers in our industry.
