Broadreach Capital Partners Receives Five-Year Extension on $186 Million Loan on Park Hyatt Aviara

PALO ALTO, Calif. – Broadreach Capital Partners announces today that it has modified a $186.5 million loan on the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, CA with an extension to 2017.

The key modification of the financing on the 329-room luxury resort is a five-year extension on the loan, which was set to mature in 2012. While the modification brings the loan current, it does not require Broadreach to pay down the principal, according to Broadreach Director Heather Turner who is responsible for lodging related investments on the West Coast and Pacific Rim.

“We are particularly pleased with the extension of the term which will allow the resort the time it needs to recover from both macro-economic and hotel-specific challenges of the last few years,” says Turner. “This modification is in the best interest of the resort and all of its stakeholders and provides the best opportunity to maximize value,” she adds.

“The resort is now well positioned to continue to provide the world class luxury experience that guests have come to expect from Aviara,” says Turner.

Built in 1998, the AAA Five Diamond Park Hyatt Aviara features 329 rooms and suites, an 18-hole Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, a 15,000 square-foot European spa, award-winning restaurants and 78,000 square feet of meeting space. The resort is located 35 miles north of San Diego in Carlsbad, California on approximately 200 acres of coastal area land.

In 2010 Broadreach selected Hyatt Hotels & Resorts to manage the resort under the luxury Park Hyatt brand. Since assuming management duties last June, the hotel has seen a meaningful improvement in revenue over the previous six months due in part to an increase in group bookings.

“This decision illustrates Broadreach’s long-term commitment to the success of Park Hyatt Aviara,” says Mark Stiebeling, General Manager of the Resort. “Under Hyatt’s management, our team has successfully maintained the prestigious AAA Five Diamond Award and we have extensive plans underway to further enhance the Aviara guest experience.”
