Staybridge Suites Savannah Historic District, Savannah, GA

SAVANNAH, GA – HFF announced today that it has closed the sale of the Staybridge Suites Savannah Historic District, a 104-room extended-stay hotel in Savannah, Georgia.

HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller, Savannah Hospitality Properties, LLC.  An affiliate of Noble Investment Group purchased the hotel on an all cash basis under an expedited timeframe.

                The Staybridge Suites is located at 301 East Bay Street in the heart of Savannah’s historic downtown and tourism district.  Completed in 2006, the five-story property is comprised of both historic and newly constructed buildings featuring oversized studio and one-bedroom suites as well as a restored 1870s-era banquet facility.  The offering also included an adjacent, 16,200-square-foot development site.

                The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director and head of the hospitality practice group Daniel Peek, managing director Holden Lim, director Max Comess, and analysts Christopher Lingerfelt and Alexandra Lalos.

                “We congratulate both Fremont and Noble on another successful transaction with HFF’s Hotel Group,” commented Peek. 

Max Comess
 “The extremely high barriers to entry in the historic district combined with strong performance at the property made this opportunity particularly attractive,” added Comess. 

Savannah Hospitality Properties, LLC is an affiliate of Fremont Realty Capital, a San Francisco-based private investment company.  The seller was represented by the Jacksonville office of Holland and Knight.

Founded in 1993, the Noble organization specializes in making value-added, opportunistic investments in the lodging and hospitality real estate sector.  Through its private equity real estate funds, Noble has invested more than $2 billion in upper upscale and upscale hotels located throughout the United States. 

The organization's current real estate fund represents $310 million of equity commitments.  The buyer was represented by the Atlanta office of Morris, Manning and Martin.
