Developing Extended-Stay Hotels Where Demand Outpaces Supply
Caliber Hospitality Development™ focuses on building high-quality extended-stay hotels in U.S. markets where demand has recovered, supply remains constrained, and new product is needed.
Caliber Hospitality Development™ is Caliber’s hospitality development platform, focused on extended-stay hotel development, distressed hospitality assets, and heavy value-add strategies. CHD was formed as a joint venture between Caliber and GIA Hospitality and serves as the exclusive development platform for Caliber’s opportunistic hospitality investments.
Investment Thesis
The U.S. hospitality market continues to face a supply and demand imbalance in select markets. New hotel development slowed following the pandemic and rising interest rates, while travel demand has recovered across business, leisure, relocation, and workforce-driven segments.
CHD targets markets where demand drivers are durable, new supply is limited, and modern extended-stay product is needed.
Why Extended Stay
Extended-stay hotels serve a wide range of travelers, including corporate guests, project-based workers, relocating families, and leisure travelers seeking flexible accommodations. Features such as kitchenettes, larger room layouts, and longer stay flexibility make the format adaptable across multiple demand segments.
