BOSTON – Holliday Fenoglio Fowler announced the sale and debt and equity financing for the Hyatt House Bridgewater, a 128-room, all-suite hotel in the central New Jersey community of Bridgewater.
The HFF team represented the institutional seller, and procured the buyer, Gulph Creek Hotels. Additionally, HFF worked on behalf of the new owner to secure a seven-year, fixed-rate acquisition loan and source a joint venture equity partner.

Additionally, the region benefits from a strong educational base with Rutgers University, Princeton University and others located nearby. The Hyatt House comprises one two-story building and five three-story buildings with one- and two-bedroom suites featuring kitchens, separate living space, bedrooms and work areas.
