NEW YORK— A panel of high-profile investment executives at this year’s NYU Hospitality Industry Investment Conference, here, voiced what many in the hotel industry already surmise: there is less debt-financing available today… albeit that debt is carrying a lower interest rate. For the record, a half dozen leading investment-sector executives confirmed that financing of 70% to 75% has now dropped to somewhere in the 60% to 65% range. In particular, it was contended that this Wall Street-led pullback has effectively spurred a re-emergence of mezzanine lending. (6/4/01) —Michael Billig
