The acquisition will build on Three Wall’s rapidly expanding portfolio and aligns well with the firm’s extended stay focus.
Alan Kanders, Managing Member and Founder of Three Wall Capital, remarked, “The portfolio’s geographic diversity, high-quality physical product, strong in-place cash flow, and valuable real estate made it an all-around attractive investment opportunity for us.”
The portfolio includes assets flagged as Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Candlewood Suites, Staybridge Suites, Suburban Extended Stay, Mainstay Suites, and Sleep Inn.
New long-term franchise agreements were secured from all brands. “This acquisition complements our existing portfolio and aligns with our goals for future growth,” Mr. Kanders explained. Three Wall’s portfolio consists of 54 hotels following the close of this acquisition, 46 of which represent extended stay hotels.
