PROJECT OVERVIEW
Ronn Thomas of Cushman & Wakefield was retained by Titan Development to sell the 72 room limited service AmericInn Hotel.
CHALLENGES
- Owners did not want the hotel staff aware that the property was for sale.
- The property was on a land lease and changes to the lease required government approval.
- The hotel lacked a location that was appealing to buyers because it was not located in the core of the city.
- The hotel faced new competition as the hospitality market was becoming saturated with several new hotels recently opened or under construction.
RESULTS
- Discretely and aggressively marketed the hotel so that employees were unaware of the sale until the closing was imminent.
- To ensure a smooth transition to new ownership, hotel staff was notified of the sale with sufficient time prior to the sale.
- Secured an extension to the land lease to add value to the property.
- Sold the property for a maximum value of $2.5M.
“Our experience with Ronn selling our hotel was great. He was incredibly diligent and persistent which allowed the deal to keep moving forward.”
