EAST MOLINE, ILL. — Hall Structured Finance (HSF) has provided a $23.2 million loan for the construction of a Hyatt House and Hyatt Place hotel in East Moline, part of the Quad Cities region. This will be Hyatt’s first development of a blended, dual-flagged hotel, with a shared front desk and lobby amenities, and will serve as the company’s prototype for future dual-flagged developments. The nine-story, 233-room hotel will feature 134 upscale Hyatt Place rooms and 99 suite-style, extended-stay Hyatt House rooms. Olympia Hotel Management will operate the hotel.
Great River LLC, in conjunction with the City of East Moline, plans to develop the 132-acre site of the former Case/International Harvester plant, where the hotel will be located, into a mixed-use development in two phases. The first phase consists of 42 acres and will include the new hotel, 324 multifamily units and a public park. Construction starts immediately and will be complete by summer 2018. In addition, two restaurants and four retail sites are expected to soon be under development.
