The Lafayette Hotel

The Lafayette Hotel is a historic 133-room, boutique hotel located in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego, CA. Built in 1946, this iconic, community landmark hotel serves over 100,000 patrons annually.

Clearinghouse CDFI provided a $16MM loan for The Lafayette Hotel to recapitalize the property and establish financial stability through long- term financing.

Clearinghouse CDFI also provided $15MM of New Markets Tax Credit allocation in 2011 to The Lafayette Hotel for the redevelopment of the property. Revitalization of the hotel then spurred additional developments in the formerly blighted surrounding area.

“The Lafayette Hotel has had a successful 7-year relationship with Clearinghouse CDFI as one of the CDE investors, with a $15MM NMTC allocation towards the renovation and rebirthing of the Historic Lafayette Hotel in San Diego in 2011. It made perfect sense to work with them at the end of the 7-year NMTC delivery period and avail ourselves of CCDFI’s long term refinance debt program. As it was 7 years ago, it was again an absolute pleasure to deal with CCDFI in the NMTC unwind and refinance processes. The entire team at CCDFI is extremely knowledgeable in their respective areas of expertise, friendly, and very thorough. We could not be happier about our continuing relationship with our friends at CCDFI!”
