Ground-up hotels, from site to opening day.
Kriya develops hotels we intend to own and operate — site selection, design, construction, and the first guest through the door.
Ground-up development
We build hotels we plan to keep.
Kriya specializes in ground-up hotel development, with a track record of projects that outperform their markets. Our expertise spans site selection, design, and construction — and every project is delivered with the long view of an owner who intends to operate the asset for decades.
Partnering with Kriya means working with a team that understands every stage of development, from concept to completion. We are doing it now: Homewood Suites Northlake broke ground in 2025, our seventh hotel and second Hilton extended-stay product.
How we build
Concept to completion.
Market analysis & feasibility
We start with demand: who stays here, why, and what they'll still want a decade from now.
Site selection
Meticulous evaluation of demand generators, visibility, access, and long-term value before a dollar is committed.
Design & brand approvals
Prototype design and brand approvals managed by people who know how the building has to operate once it opens.
Construction management
Projects delivered on schedule and on budget — with the discipline that comes from spending our own capital.
Opening & operations handoff
There is no handoff. The team that develops the hotel is the team that runs it.
