                “In addition to expanding our footprint into the Great Lakes region, this portfolio aligns perfectly with our strategy of targeting strong markets with multiple demand generators that are well positioned to weather all phases of the economic cycle,” said Andy Chopra, founding principal and chief investment officer, Banyan Investment Group. 

“All three hotels benefit from their location near Fortune 500 companies, including the American Family Insurance headquarters, located in nearby office parks and downtown Madison, as well as their proximity to Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago.
