Hyatt Regency^® Conroe Hotel and Convention Center

Garfield was developer and is asset manager of this 210,000-sq. ft., 250-room, 7-story, full-service hotel and convention center in Grand Central Park in Conroe, Texas. Also included are a 3-story, 370-car parking garage and surface parking for an additional 150 cars. The project is designed to meet LEED® Certified criteria.

Project funds included $48.2 million in publicly sold first- and second-lien tax-exempt hotel revenue bonds that are non-recourse to City, $20.7 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds secured by a third lien and a City annual appropriation shortfall guarantee, and $30 million in net proceeds from City-issued Certificates of Obligation (C.O.s) and other City sources.

Net cash flow to the City at the time of financing was estimated to be $71+ million over 28 years, with a residual value of $117+ million. In addition to being the sole beneficiary of net cash flow and residual value, the City will receive the property’s Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT) and sales tax revenue, including rebates of the State’s first 10 years of HOT and sales tax.

The Hotel is owned by the Conroe Local Government Corporation (LGC) and is operated by Hyatt under a qualified management agreement. The City owns the Convention Center and leases it to the LGC for seamless operation with the Hotel by Hyatt. The property opened in May 2023.
