U.S. Hotel Profits Grow in 2016 Despite Slowdown in Revenue

  
 
R. Mark Woodworth
  Atlanta, GA –– U.S. hoteliers enjoyed a seventh consecutive year of increasing profits in 2016 despite a slowdown in the rate of revenue growth.  

According to the recently released 2017 edition of Trends® in the Hotel Industry by CBRE Hotels’ Americas Research, total operating revenue, driven by a 0.2 percent rise in occupancy and a 2.5 percent growth in average daily rate (ADR), increased by 2.4 percent in 2016 for the average hotel in its survey sample. 

However, by limiting the growth in operating expenses to just 1.6 percent, managers at the Trends® properties were able to extract a 3.7 percent increase in gross operating profits (GOP) for the year.

“The competitive market conditions faced by U.S. hotels in 2016 have been well documented.  With the results of the 2017 Trends® report, we now have an understanding of the impact that the modest revenue gains had on the bottom-line,” said R. Mark Woodworth, senior managing director of CBRE Hotels’ Americas Research. 

“Clearly, U.S. hotel operators saw the threat of stagnant or declining occupancy and slow ADR growth and reacted by controlling expenses.  The 3.7 percent increase in profits is the lowest we have observed since the Great Recession, but was a commendable accomplishment given the upward pressures on labor and distribution costs.”

Cooper Carry Project Nabs Prestigious NAHB Award For Industrial Apartments With Historic Past in Old Town Alexandria, VA


Brandon Lenk
ALEXANDRIA, VA – From a cotton factory and civil war prison to bottling plant and office space, a historic building in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia has reinvented itself yet again after taking home top honors in one of the nation’s premier residential awards competitions.

Designed by internationally recognized design firm COOPER CARRY, “The Mill at 515” on Washington Street won a Platinum award in the 2016 “Best In American Living” competition.  

The project was honored in the “Best Adaptive Reuse, Multifamily” category, which recognizes buildings that revitalize existing buildings while still preserving their historic character and charm.

“From the onset it was imperative to us that the transformation of ‘The Mill’ did not degrade the rich legacy of the building and site,” said Brandon Lenk, AIA, Project Architect at COOPER CARRY.

 “CAS Riegler, our client, developed a project that met the approval of multiple historic and architectural review committees, and I think the end result is truly unique. The beauty of historic adaptive reuse projects like The Mill, is that they cannot be replicated.

“This is a one-of-a-kind structure that combines a historic past with the modern benefits and amenities one might expect in a newly constructed residential facility.”

Built in 1847 and originally known as The Mount Vernon Cotton Factory, “The Mill” was seized by Union soldiers during the Civil War and converted into a makeshift prison for enemy combatants.

Bedroom, The Mill at 515 Loft Apartment
 After lying dormant for a few decades, it later served as a bottling plant, spark plug factory, and most recently, office space. The 26,000 plus square foot structure was taken down to its brick and wood frame in 2013 to enable the restoration process.

The newly-transformed industrial lofts have 25 living units which feature contemporary touches such as exposed brick walls, interior steel stairs and railings, stainless steel appliances, high-end countertops and white cabinetry throughout.

Studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments range from 450 to nearly 2,000 square feet, while a club room on the top floor offers spectacular views of Washington D.C. and Old Town Alexandria.

CAS Riegler is the developer for the project, and Snead Construction served as general contractor. For more information on the 2016 “Best In American Living” awards, visit the NAHB website.

Robert Given
PEMBROKE PINES, FL, April 26, 2017 — Cushman & Wakefield announced today that it has negotiated the sale of the Montage at City Center, a 700-unit mid-rise and townhome residential asset located at 10170 SW 7th Street in Pembroke Pines, FL.

Vice Chairman Robert Given and Executive Managing Director Zachary Sackley of Cushman & Wakefield’s South Florida Multifamily Team, along with Senior Managing Director Troy Ballard, Financial Associate Neal Victor and Financial Analyst Aaron Mandel represented AVR Realty Company in the disposition. An affiliate of Harbor Group International, LLC acquired the asset for $158.5 million.

Montage at City Center consists of 700 units in 12 mid-rise and 28 townhome buildings. The community offers a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Montage at City Center was built in two phases. Phase One (422 units) was completed in 2014. Phase Two (278 units) was completed in 2015.

Units at Montage at City Center feature formica countertops, espresso cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and hard surface flooring. Property amenities include a LEED Gold-certified clubhouse, two resort-style pools, a fitness center, business center, game room and demonstration kitchen. Private garages and storage units are available for rent.

Troy Ballard
The property is currently stabilized with 95% occupancy and an average market rent of $1.55 per square foot.

“Montage’s walkability to the future development of the Pembroke Pines City Center and recently completed amphitheater makes this a compelling investment opportunity,” said Given. “The property is located in the heart of very strong retail dynamics and tremendous employment drivers.”

Pembroke Pines City Center is a 47-acre mixed-use project that will feature a mix of retail, office and residential. Terra Group is the developer of the phased project, with Phase One consisting of 200,000 square feet of retail anchored by a 45,600-square-foot Publix.

Phase Two will add 450 apartments and 100,000 square feet of office. Additionally, the city is in the process of completing a $60 million civic and cultural center, which includes a new city hall, 3,500-seat performance space, a standalone commission chamber and a 1,000-square-foot arts center. All of this is less than a mile from Montage at City Center.

“The location and asset quality of Montage position it as a core-plus opportunity, allowing for a light value-add program enhancing the interiors and creating additional rent premiums,” said Sackley.

Hanley Investment Group Completes Sale of New Single-Tenant Net-Lease LA Fitness in Chicago Metro Area



LA|Fitness, 620 North York Street, Elmhurst, IL


Austin Blodgett
ELMHURST, IL - Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors, a nationally-recognized real estate brokerage and advisory firm specializing in retail property sales, arranged the sale of a new single-tenant net-lease investment occupied by LA Fitness in an off-market transaction. The property is located in the Chicago metro area in Elmhurst, Illinois.

Hanley Investment Group Associate Austin Blodgett and Executive Vice President Eric Wohl represented the seller on this transaction. The seller was a development company based in the Chicago area and the buyer, which represented themselves, was a publicly-traded REIT. The purchase price could not be disclosed.


Completed in late 2016, the new 37,000-square-foot single-tenant building is situated on 4.8 acres at 620 North York Street in Elmhurst, Illinois, adjacent the I-290/Dwight D. Eisenhower Expressway on/off-ramp in DuPage County.  LA Fitness just executed a brand new 15-year primary lease term with a number of options.

“This is a highly visible/high traffic intersection located at the off-ramp of the I-290/York Road exit in west suburban Elmhurst, adjacent a new Starbucks-anchored multi-tenant building and near Mariano’s Fresh Market,” said Blodgett. “Numerous quick-serve restaurants and other national and regional retailers are in the area.”

Eric Wohl
According to Blodgett, “The sale of single-tenant health clubs has become a much more viable retail investment alternative in today’s market.

 Private and institutional investors are seeing the value and security of the income stream from a single-tenant health club, especially those leased to LA Fitness, one of the most successful private retailers in the United States and the #1 health club in the nation.

 Also, being that health clubs are a service retailer, investors are turning to this product type to avoid investments that may be impacted by Amazon in the very near future.” 

LA Fitness has more than 690 locations in 32 states and Canada and is continuing to open more clubs from coast to coast.

Wohl added that the number of health clubs opening has increased as more people want to live a healthier lifestyle. “Having a health club located close to where people live motivates more people to work out, and at the rate that LA Fitness is growing these health clubs will be accessible to nearly everyone in the country by just a short drive away,” Wohl said.

Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors is a retail investment advisory firm with a $5 billion transaction track record nationwide, who works closely with individual investors, lending institutions, developers, and institutional property owners in every facet of the transaction to ensure that the highest value is achieved.
