What is your outlook for the lending environment in 2022?
“We currently have a large pipeline of new loan opportunities that we are working on involving high-quality hotel projects and are bullish for what 2022 and beyond holds for the hospitality industry. We are starting to see some real signs of recovery in the sector, driven not only by the leisure demand, but also by strong group demand, and the start of a return of the business traveler. We have been fortunate that through each business cycle, we have been able to grow and take advantage of new opportunities. We certainly hope and expect that to be the case in 2022.”
