Berkadia Arranges $17.5M Construction Loan for New Hotel in Tallahassee

TALLAHASSEE, FLA. — Berkadia has arranged a $17.5 million construction loan for Hotel Indigo, a 143-room hotel that will be developed in Tallahassee. Brad Williamson and Kyle Ryan of Berkadia arranged the five-year, fixed-rate loan through a regional bank on behalf of the developer, Urban Street Development. The hotel will be one of the final pieces of the company’s Florida State University (FSU) CollegeTown District. The master-planned mixed-use community already includes 982 student housing beds, 60,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and two parking garages. Urban Street broke ground on the $125 million project in 2013. Situated at 826 Gaines St., Hotel Indigo will be located adjacent to FSU and steps away from Doak Campbell Stadium, home to FSU’s Seminole football team. Designed by hospitality design firm ai3, the hotel will feature a contemporary design and an onsite restaurant and bar. Hotel Indigo is a chain of boutique hotels and part of InterContinental Hotels Group.
