CHICAGO—Hyatt Hotels Corp. has announced that a Hyatt affiliate has entered into a franchise agreement with Songy HighRoads, a commercial real estate development firm based in Atlanta, to develop the Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria. The hotel will be managed by Aimbridge Hospitality and is scheduled to open next fall.
“The Hyatt name is synonymous with excellence in hospitality and is among the world's most recognizable brands,” David Songy, Chief Executive Officer of Songy HighRoads, told GlobeSt.com. “This franchise agreement continues the momentum of Galleria Place and our urban mixed-use vision for this high-profile block. Over the next year, this former office and retail park will evolve into a vibrant stay-work-play destination and a gateway to the Galleria.”
Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria is being built near the Houston Galleria shopping mall at 2626 Sage Road, on the northwest corner of Sage Road and West Alabama Street. It is part of the 7.6-acre, mixed use development, Galleria Plaza, which includes a Whole Foods Market, high-end retail and specialty stores, luxury apartments and recently completed office towers. The 325-room, 14-story hotel will feature more than 12,000 square feet of meeting and conference space as well as a large fitness center overlooking a pool deck.
“We began construction of Hyatt Regency Houston Galleria in December 2013, and are looking forward to a fall 2015 opening,” says Todd Nocerini, Chief Operating Officer of Songy HighRoads. “The Galleria area is one of Houston's most important commercial sub-markets, and we are delighted to be bringing the Hyatt Regency brand, in tandem with Aimbridge Hospitality as our hotel manager, to business and leisure travelers visiting the area.”
“The Galleria area of Houston offers an incredible opportunity to interface with the formidable office and retail population in the vicinity.
