Principal Keith Thompson said, “Cost of debt is an issue that will be with us through 2024 and possibly well into 2025. Thus far, we have been able to close the bid-ask spread by creative financing options. The hotel transaction landscape has changed, possibly long term, but we are still seeing accretive debt structures as the path forward to transactions.” Read the full press release below. #avisonyounghospitality #avisonyoung #hospitalityindustry

🏨 Landmark Deal in Atlanta: A Glimpse into Current Hotel Market Dynamics  A recent hotel transaction caught my attention: the acquisition of the W Hotel in downtown Atlanta by Stonebridge Hospitality Management. This deal is a prime example of the current shifts in the hotel market… 🔍 The Deal Breakdown: Acquired for just under $25 million, the W Hotel's sale price is less than half of what Ashford Hospitality Trust paid for it eight years ago. The acquisition, made through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, is part of a broader strategy by Ashford to alleviate financial strain, saving approximately $255 million by surrendering 19 hotels to lenders. 💡 Market Insights: This transaction is indicative of the current real estate climate, where high interest rates and challenging lending conditions are forcing property owners to offload their assets, often at a significant loss. The W Hotel, which faced its own challenges since its completion in 2009, represents the type of opportunities emerging in today's market. 📈 Opportunities for Investors: Me and my partners are keenly focused on these types of opportunities. The current landscape offers a once in a generation chance to acquire premium properties like the W Hotel at substantial discounts. Deals like this allow us to capitalize on market dynamics to secure valuable assets at prices well below their intrinsic value.

The hospitality sector has found itself between two different trends of deal volume and pricing over a number of quarters. Hotel property prices have generally outperformed commercial real estate, despite the way that overall CRE deal volume has been falling. This is one of many examples of the mixed signals that have confused CRE property investors in the aftermath of the pandemic.

#ICYMI last week Director Matthew Neal was featured in EG with his column on operational real estate. In it, he discusses why a forensic approach to operational real estate is vital in order to truly see the problems before they emerge, and derive best value. #READ the piece in EG here: https://lnkd.in/d4jsn7sj #READ the full piece on our website here: https://lnkd.in/dzixKUeq #property #propertyuk #operationalrealestate #assetmanagement #alternatives #livingsector #operationalproperty #operationaloversight #addedvalue #operatingcost #problemsolving #PBSA #BTR #Hotels #forensicapproach #competitiveadvantage

Hotels remain a smart investment in the current financial climate, especially when compared to other commercial real estate options. As the year progresses, we expect to see increased hotel transaction activity, driven by two key factors. Firstly, there is a significant amount of hotel debt maturing over the next two years, with about $15 billion in hotel CMBS loans alone coming due. Secondly, many properties are facing impending property improvement plans or other capital needs, which cannot be deferred any longer. Major brands are anxious to resume the regular schedule of property improvements that help keep properties competitive in a given market. Distilling the post-pandemic marketplace, the greatest opportunity is either through refinancing an existing loan or through the recapitalization and subsequent renovation or repositioning of a buy-sell transaction. Either way, the debt markets hold the keys to both executions. Additionally, supply chain constraints and construction costs, along with the availability of skilled labor, in many cases favor “buy and upgrade” over new construction. #propertysquarellc #FranckRobert #hotelforsale #hotelinvestment #rivieramaya #mexico #caribbean #centralamerica #RealEstate Source: https://lnkd.in/ertRBvnn
