Hunter Realty Associates, Inc. Brokers SpringHill Suites Transaction



Florida Property Purchased By Apple Hospitality REIT


ATLANTA, GA—Hunter Realty Associates, Inc., a leading national hotel investment services firm, represented and advised the seller in the recent sale of the SpringHill Suites (photo above) in Sanford, Fla.

The 105-suite property was purchased by Apple Hospitality REIT and will retain the Marriott flag. Bob Hunter, (top left photo) president of Hunter Realty, and Lee Hunter, (top right photo) executive vice president, brokered the transaction.

“The Sanford SpringHill Suites attracted a good deal of interest, with Sanford’s proximity to Orlando and the appeal of its Marriott-affiliated brand,” Lee Hunter said.

“Despite current market uncertainties, the transaction went smoothly and our client received great value for this asset. We expect well-located and well-branded properties of this caliber to continue to do well in 2008 and that there will be plenty of good opportunities for experienced buyers and sellers.”

Located at 201 North Towne Road in Sanford, between Daytona Beach and Orlando, the SpringHill Suites Orlando North/Sanford features an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, meeting space for up to 90 people and boardroom seating for 14.
