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.

Concord recently opened the Hyatt House in Pittsburgh and will open two more Hyatt House hotels in 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.”
