Concord Hospitality Enterprises and Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop began construction
on a 258-room Hyatt House hotel in the Exchange Place district of Jersey City, part of a
public/private revitalization effort that will bring 350 construction jobs, and 80
permanent and 60 part time hotel jobs to New York's Hudson River neighbor. The
project, an adaptive re-use of a 92-year old bank building into Jersey City's first Hyatt
House hotel, represents an investment of more than $90 million in Jersey City that will
produce more than $1.6 million in annual revenue to the city.
