BALDWIN PARK, CA  – Commercial real estate investment banking firm Continental Funding Group has successfully secured $19 million in fixed-rate refinancing for Courtyard by Marriott, a 195-room select-service hotel in the Baldwin Park submarket of Los Angeles, California.

The financing was arranged by Continental Funding Group President Mitch Paskover.

“The financial markets for commercial properties have made a tremendous comeback over the last several years, yet the market for limited hotels is still a bit conservative,” says Mitch Paskover President of Continental Funding Group.

“Many lenders believe the hospitality industry may be reaching a plateau as rising occupancy and average daily rates have tapered off, indicating a potential slowdown in the tourism sector.”

            Paskover adds that the boom in hotel construction, a 19.5 percent increase from 2014 to 2015 according to a CoStar report, further raises uncertainty among lenders as to whether the hotel market can sustain this growth, as the additional supply may potentially impact the industry moving forward. 

“As a result, securing a lender for a hotel, particularly a limited-service one, requires a strategic and out of the box approach, which is exactly what we did,” continues Paskover.

The Courtyard by Marriott in Baldwin Park was originally built as a Hilton, followed by an affiliation with Radisson, before becoming franchised as part of the Marriott chain in 2004. The sponsor requested a fixed-rate, non-recourse loan that would refinance the existing maturing loan, as well as provide a substantial cash-out component.
