Taconic Capital Advisors and HEI Hotels have acquired the Hyatt Regency Jersey City, with plans to further renovate the property on the Hudson waterfront

Taconic, HEI Hotels Acquire Hyatt Regency Jersey City

Taconic Capital Advisors LP and HEI Hotels & Resorts have jointly acquired Hyatt Regency Jersey City from affiliates of Hyatt Hotels Corporation and Veris Residential Inc. Although the purchase price wasn’t disclosed, Taconic and HEI said they assumed a $100-million fixed-rate CMBS mortgage with ample remaining term. 

The property is a full-service, 351-key hotel situated on a pier extending over the Hudson River in Jersey City. Built in 2002 and subject to some $15 million in upgrades since 2010, the hotel will undergo further enhancements under the new ownership. 

“Hyatt Regency Jersey City was a compelling opportunity to acquire a world-class hotel with a strong segmentation mix and a diverse set of revenue contributors,“ said Andrew Lam, a Director in Taconic Capital Advisors’ commercial real estate group. “The highly accretive assumable financing allowed us to continue our thesis for well-located urban, upscale hotels in an otherwise prohibitive financing environment.”
