California Construction News staff writer

A new hotel is under construction in Fresno and Hyatt House is expected to be completed in two years.

“We have had this issue of not having a hotel nearby, and now we can say, stay there! And with the synergy with Campus Pointe, Fresno State and the community, it will be perfect,” said Fresno State President Saul Jimenez Sandoval.

The hotel is the final phase of the Campus Pointe mixed-use development, a multi-year project.

It’s been about 20 years since concept approval was received for the development.

“We are very careful about where we go, and It took a beautiful project like this, student life and the Save Mart Center. It was a no-brainer for us,” Nirav Shah, regional vice-president of development for Hyatt Hotels said at the groundbreaking.
