“We are pursuing resort markets, we’re pursuing convention center hotels, we’re pursuing urban hotels,” Obeid said. “These are full-service hotels.”

In November 2017 Kushner companies established a hotel division. Since then, Kushner acquired the 24-room oceanfront boutique Hotel Bungalow in Long Branch for $9 million. The hotel is adjacent to Pier Village, which Kushner co-owns with Extell Development.

Kushner also developing two hotels in Pier Village.

“Certainly there is ample demand within Long Branch and Jersey City for all of these hospitality concepts within Pier Village,” Obeid told CO.
