NYC Supply Outlook 23 Source: STR, CBRE. Supply in NYC remains elevated, but DRH submarkets have minimal supply DRH’s primary submarket of Midtown East has no new supply in 2018-19 with total pipeline of rooms at 1% Less than 1% supply CAGR over last three years Waldorf Astoria (1,413 rooms) came offline Q117 10% of Midtown East rooms removed during renovation and 7% reduction long-term Recently enacted Airbnb law to significantly mitigate Airbnb shadow supply New legislation moving forward that would significantly limit new hotel development Would require developers to receive a special permit to build new hotels in light manufacturing zones and would require union hotel staff
