LE’s Inaugural Global Construction Pipeline Report Details the Worldwide Lodging Construction Boom at a Total of 10,781 Projects/1,819,486 Rooms

The Total Global Construction Pipeline is at a record high in H1 2008, with 10,781 projects and 1,819,486 rooms, up 28% year-over-year (YoY). 41% of Total Pipeline projects and 46% of Total Rooms are already Under Construction. Because of this, LE’s Forecast for New Hotel Openings is set to accelerate in 2010. The United States has the largest Pipeline with 43% of the Global Total, followed by Asia Pacific, then Europe. A fall-off in Pipeline totals is becoming evident, as developer sentiment is impacted by the credit crisis and economic slowdown. This points to a possible cresting for New Openings after 2010.

Lodging Econometrics Announces Total US Construction Pipeline

Lodging Econometrics (LE), the Global Authority for Hotel Real Estate, has released its US Construction Pipeline Report for Q2 2008, announcing 5,883 projects with 785,547 guestrooms in the Total Pipeline. Showing only a moderate quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) increase, project and guest room counts in the Total Pipeline are at new peak levels, but appear to be cresting. New visibility on the economy, the lending crisis and lodging operating trends emerged during the second quarter, which served to dampen developer sentiment considerably. As a result, key development metrics have softened, indicating that both project migration within the existing Pipeline and the pace of New Project Announcements into the Pipeline are beginning to ebb.

LE’s H1 2008 Report for Europe Notes the Lodging Construction Pipeline

Europe’s Total Construction Pipeline is at 1,022 projects/172,249 rooms at the end of Q2. Key Development Metrics indicate the economic slowdown and tight lending environment are eroding developer sentiment, meaning that the Pipeline has likely reached peak levels for the cycle and will be in decline moving forward. At the front end of the Pipeline, Under Construction totals have risen steadily for the last six quarters and appear to be at their zenith at 574 projects/94,994 rooms. These projects acquired financing before the global credit crisis crested and are expected to come online as New Hotel Openings through early 2010.

European Hotel Valuation Index 2006 | HVS International

The European Hotel Valuation Index (HVI) shows that hotel values (expressed in euro) achieved a second consecutive year of growth. On average, values across Europe increased by 5% in 2005, compared with an increase of 3% in 2004. These rises in value followed three years of decline. The European average hotel value is now back at the level achieved in the peak year 2000, although much of this has been driven by growth in Eastern European markets. Many markets, such as Milan, Zürich, Geneva, Rome, Budapest and Edinburgh, have indeed surpassed the 2000 peak, whilst others, including Paris and Hamburg, have come very close. We have also seen in 2005 that 18 of the 28 markets under review have achieved an increase in excess of inflationary growth; only five markets – Berlin, Munich, Barcelona, Athens and Lisbon – recorded a decline in average values. In contrast, in 2004 eight markets showed a decline in value and only Barcelona recorded a decline in both 2004 and 2005.
