Back To News/PR Index Ensemble Hotel Partners Breaks Ground on Hyatt Place Hotel in Emeryville, California | Unique Location Within Existing Retail Center Will Benefit Local Businesses and Guests | “Hyatt Place Emeryville/San Francisco Bay Area exemplifies our keen focus on embedded development by pursuing opportunities within booming, well-located retail centers, and working with the owners and other stakeholders to design a hotel that adds tremendous value to the surrounding community,” said Brian Ehrlich, chief investment officer at Ensemble Hotel Partners. “Our goal is to use our signature expertise and creativity to bring the right product to the right location, and we are delighted that it will both serve and support local businesses.” Ensemble selected DavisReed Construction to provide design/build construction services for the project, and innovative hotel management company, RIM Hospitality, to manage the new hotel. The hotel is expected to open for business in the Q3 2016. The contemporary design of the new Hyatt Place features extensive use of glass and brick to reflect Emeryville’s industrial architectural heritage. The hotel will be integrated into the Bay Street Emeryville retail center through a landscaped outdoor patio that will extend the mall into the hotel. The hotel’s ground floor will be dedicated to public use, including a spacious lobby and dining area, with five levels of guestrooms above. Hyatt Place Emeryville/San Francisco Bay Area will offer:
In addition to 40 onsite parking spaces, the hotel will utilize Bay Street Emeryville’s existing parking facilities, located only a short walk away and typically underused at night. “This arrangement is highly efficient in that it maximizes the use of an existing facility,” Ehrlich said. One of the most popular shopping destinations in the area, Bay Street Emeryville is comprised of 65 stores, 10 restaurants, a movie theater, and 400 residential units, all within three city blocks and connected by a main street. The mall uses architecture, lighting, landscape, and environmental graphics to create an eclectic and energetic atmosphere with appealing streetscapes, plazas and green space. Other

Menlo Gateway site in Menlo Park, and the renovation of the Bernardus Lodge
and Spa in the Carmel Valley, managed by Woodside Hotels of Menlo Park.
