The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Managing Directors Chris Hew and Jeff Bucaro, Executive Managing Director Eric Tupler and Associate Emma Buch.

 

“The W Aspen is an irreplaceable asset and we’re very proud to have played a part in the financing effort here,” said Hew.

 

The W is a short walk to the heart of downtown Aspen’s historic shopping and dining district and nestled at the base of Aspen Mountain.

 

The W Aspen opened in the Fall of 2019 and is the first new ground-up hotel construction project to deliver in Aspen in over 25 years.

The five-story hotel is located at 550 South Spring St. and totals 74,184 square feet. Key features include first-class amenities with a rooftop deck featuring a heated pool and spa with panoramic views of Aspen Mountain, Independence Pass, Red Mountain and Downtown Aspen.

 

Additional amenities include three food and beverage outlets, meeting/banquet space, a fitness facility, fire pits, rooftop cabanas, structured parking and a seasonal ski shop.

 

Located over 7,900 feet above sea level in the heart of the White River National Forest, Aspen is a historic mining town that has been transformed into a global destination offering a limitless assortment of first-class outdoor activities as well as best-in-class retail and dining options.

Aspen draws year-round demand from across the globe with eleven direct flights into Aspen County Airport from major hubs across the United States.

 

“After the post-pandemic roller-coaster ride that was mountain resort hotel performance during 2021-22, travel patterns and hotel performance returned to a semblance of “normal” during 2023.

 

"As we near sell-out of our remaining residential inventory, this was an opportune time to look for permanent hotel financing, and we feel fortunate to have made the connection with Riyad Bank – Houston Agency and established a positive working relationship that we look forward to continuing for many years,” remarked Northridge CEO Dave Jackson.

"We picked the right partner in Riyad Bank and look forward to a strong relationship for years to come” added Northridge Managing Partner, David Etemadi.
