 NEW YORK, NY – HFF announced today that it has closed the sale of and secured financing for Courtyard by Marriott Chapel Hill, a 169-key, select-service hotel near the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and UNC Health Care in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. 

HFF marketed the property on behalf of the seller.  Noble Investment Group purchased the offering free and clear of debt.  

Additionally, HFF secured the five-year, floating-rate acquisition loan for the buyer through GE Capital. 

                Renovated in 2011, the Courtyard by Marriott Chapel Hill features 132 guestrooms and 37 suites, 1,800 square feet of flexible meeting space, an indoor pool and spa, business center, fitness center, outdoor fire pit, jogging trail and several food and beverage options, including 

The Bistro for breakfast and dinner, a lobby bar, a grab-and-go market and a breakfast buffet.

Located at 100 Marriott Way at the corner of Marriott Way and Highway 54 in Chapel Hill, the five-story hotel is adjacent to Interstate 40 and one mile from the University of North Carolina and its hospitals.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing director and head of HFF’s Hotel Group Daniel Peek, senior managing director Ryan Clutter, director KC Patel, associate director Cyrus Vazifdar and real estate analyst JoJo Won.

                The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower was led by senior managing director Jay Marshall, associate director Christopher Peck and real estate analyst Sam Nidenberg.

                “The Courtyard by Marriott Chapel Hill transaction provided further evidence of the incredible appeal among investors for quality select-service assets,” Peek said.

  “Properties in this category attract equity and debt capital at a rate substantially higher than in prior cycles, resulting in lower overall cost of capital than previously experienced.” 

Cyrus Vazifdar
In the year ending 2014, HFF’s Hotel Group closed more than $3.5 billion in hotel transactions across all capital markets involving more than 100 hotels and resorts.
 
Founded in 1993, the Noble organization specializes in making value-added, opportunistic investments in the lodging and hospitality real estate sector.
