Faris Lee Investments Completes Receivership Sale of $3.7 Million Multi-Tenant Retail and Office Property in Aliso Viejo, CA


IRVINE, CA – Faris Lee Investments, the nation’s largest retail-specialized investment sales and advisory firm, has completed the $3.7 million sale of The Shops at Pacific Park (top left photo), a 15,195 square foot multi-tenant retail and office strip center in Aliso Viejo, Calif.

Built in 1999 and situated on 1.18 acres, the property is located at 22912 Pacific Park Drive. The property, which was sold through receivership, is 88 percent occupied and includes a mix of dining, retail, and office tenants.

Dennis Vaccaro and Rich Walter (middle right photo) of Faris Lee Investments represented Overland Park KS-based Key Bank and the receiver for the property. Dennis Vaccaro and Matt Mousavi of Faris Lee Investments represented the buyer, Feldspar LLC from Newport Beach, Calif. who paid all cash.

“Faris Lee’s marketing strategy focused on the strength of the master planned community of Aliso Viejo and the property’s strong historical occupancy,” said Vaccaro. “We generated a total of 10 offers, and despite the lender offering financing, our buyer chose to pay all cash for the asset.”

Vaccaro added that the buyer was attracted to the asset as it presented a rare south Orange County ownership opportunity as well as significant upside potential through rental increases and new tenanting options.

The Shops at Pacific Park has two points of access along Aliso Viejo Parkway and two points of access along Pacific Park Drive, sharing access with the adjacent El Pollo Loco and Chevron.

The master planned community of Aliso Viejo contains approximately 6.9 square miles of land and is located in south Orange County about four miles northeast of the Pacific Ocean.

The community is divided by the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor (SR-73) which extends to the northwest connecting Aliso Viejo to cities such as Costa Mesa, Irvine, and Newport Beach, and to the southeast connecting to San Juan Capistrano and offering access to San Diego County.

The City is bordered on the west by Laguna Beach, on the east by the Cities of Laguna Niguel and Laguna Hills, and on the north by the City of Laguna Woods.

Hospitality CPM Launched to Help Hotel Owners Manage Latest Renovation Boom



 FAIRFIELD, NJ—Hospitality CPM (Construction Project Management) announced that is has launched to help hotel owners manage the significant growth in required renovations.  The company already is experiencing significant growth as the hotel industry continues to recover from the worst economic downturn in more than a generation.

The company represents owners’ interests throughout the design, planning, bidding and implementation of hotel renovation projects and new construction.  Hospitality CPM (HCPM) was spun off as a wholly-owned subsidiary from Paramount Hotel Group, an independent hotel management and ownership company.

The company is led by Stephen Siegel (top right photo), president, a 25-year veteran of hotel development, renovation and construction.  Siegel has completed more than $1.5 billion in hotel capital projects over the course of his career, including construction project management for 100 AmeriSuites, 35 Wellesley Inns and the annual capital improvement plan for the 225-hotel portfolio of Prime Hospitality Corp., a former NYSE company. 

“As the hotel industry begins its return to normalcy, we foresee a significant wave of renovations triggered by accelerating hotel sales and franchisors becoming stricter in enforcing brand standards,” he said.  “This surge in Product Improvement Plans (PIPs) is typical in this phase of the hotel real estate cycle.  

“Renovations today are much more complex than they have ever been,” he noted.  “Once, an owner could add new televisions and install rounded shower curtain rods to meet their PIP obligations.

“ Now, they must contend with ADA compliance, environmental, energy, governmental and tax issues, which makes the process much more challenging.  Given our considerable experience and expertise, we saw a long-term opportunity to act as a completely separate operation and become more actively engaged with other hoteliers on renovation and construction projects.” 

The company already is overseeing projects for a number of hotel companies, including RLJ Lodging Trust.  Carl Mayfield, senior vice president for RLJ stated “We have been very impressed with the professionalism and personal attention provided by HCPM.”

Hotel Industry Showing Signs of a Strong Comeback

  

 ATLANTA, GA (Sept. 19, 2011) – After a tough 2008 and a brutal 2009, the hotel industry is in the midst of a solid overall comeback, and the sector once again is providing good purchase opportunities for commercial real estate investors.

 That’s the view of guests of this week’s “Commercial Real Estate Show,” which provides an inside look at the recent performance of the hotel and lodging industry.

For year to date through the end of July, the national hotel occupancy rate was above 60 percent and the average room rate was more than$100, said Steve Hennis (top right photo), director of STR Analytics. At the height of the recession, the occupancy rate was 55 percent and the average room rate around $98, he added.

“You can see that we’re gaining a lot of ground but it’s mostly on the occupancy side and not necessarily all that much on the rate yet,” Hennis said.

 R. Mark Woodworth (top left photo), president of Colliers PKF Hospitality Research, seconded Hennis’ positive assessment. “If there’s anything that’s really surprising about where we are today, quite frankly its how quickly demand has been growing,” he said. “We feel very good about the state of the industry.”

 Both Hennis and Woodworth noted the sector’s recovery hasn’t been distributed evenly. The luxury hotel segment has performed particularly well during the past year, while the budget segment has continued to lag, they noted.

The hotel industry is not producing much in the way of new supply, which is helping occupancy rates, Hennis said. New supply is up just 0.8 percent this year, which is well below the long-term average of 1.9 percent a year, he noted.

 Other guests included Andrew Pace (middle right photo), director of development for Hotel Equities, and commercial real estate attorney Dan Weede (bottom left photo), who is the president of the Atlanta Hospitality Alliance. 

The show is available for download here. The show airs Saturday in Atlanta on Biz 1190 at 10am ET and on Talk 920 Sunday at 9am ET.

The next “Commercial Real Estate Show” airs September 24 and will provide an overview of the pressing legal issues facing the commercialreal estate sector, such as foreclosure and bankruptcy, deed in lieu, loan restructures and note sales.

Interstate Hotels & Resorts Enters JV with Netherlands-based TVHG Budget Group Beheer BV




 ARLINGTON, VA., Sept. 19, 2011—Interstate Hotels & Resorts, the United States’ largest independent hotel management company, today announced that the company has entered into a joint venture with TVHG Budget Group Beheer BV (“TVHG”), through its subsidiary TVHG Budget Group Netherlands trading under the name Dutch Hotel Partners, to invest in a portfolio of nine hotels located across the Netherlands. 

Of the nine hotels, one was recently opened, the 112-room Holiday Inn Express Schiphol Airport (top left photo) in Amsterdam, and the remaining eight, anticipated to be open by the end of 2012, will be converted from existing buildings to Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn brands.  All nine hotels, comprising approximately 1,800 rooms, will be managed under long-term contracts by Interstate.

“This joint venture marks our entry into the Netherlands and significantly increases our European presence to more than 25 hotels open or in the pipeline,” said Thomas F. Hewitt (middle right photo), Interstate’s chairman and chief executive officer.  “This new alliance illustrates our commitment to aggressive growth in Europe.  We have the infrastructure and an experienced management team in place to oversee our growing portfolio there.”  

 “TVHG is an experienced, highly regarded hotel developer with an impressive record of hotel development and transactions in the Netherlands and elsewhere,” said Jim Abrahamson (lower  left photo), Interstate’s president and COO. 

“For the past few years, they have focused on taking advantage of opportunities in the real estate sector by identifying well located, vacant office buildings that represent attractive hotel conversion opportunities to internationally recognized brands.  Nine of those hotels form the basis of this partnership, and the addition of Interstate’s established management platform to this unique joint venture will help fulfill the promise of that plan.” 

Abrahamson noted the strength of Interstate’s international platform comes from the company’s long and positive relationships with top-quality brands. “This is our first deal with TVHG and we look forward to building on our relationship as we expand in Europe.”

 “Interstate has pioneered the concept of independent hotel management in some of the world’s fastest growing economies and has successfully transplanted that business model to Europe,” said Bart van de Kamp, founder and CEO of TVHG.  “The capabilities they bring, combined with their long, strong track record of superior performance, give us a high degree of confidence in their ability to operate these hotels to their full potential and maximize our returns. With Interstate’s platform and their relationships with top tier brands, we hope to continue our partnership beyond this initial phase in the Netherlands into other markets.”

Several hotels will be located in the Amsterdam area and others in major cities in the Netherlands.  All of the hotels will be situated close to railway stations, airports or along main highways.

 “This transaction marks our renewed emphasis on establishing a major presence in Europe.  We are dedicated to both investment and management in key markets throughout Europe,” said Leslie Ng, Interstate’s chief investment officer.  “With the addition of these nine hotels, we have significantly expanded our footprint in Western Europe and are rapidly moving our international growth strategy forward.  Our global pipeline remains active, and we continue to explore additional opportunities worldwide. We look forward to growing our presence with TVHG as a partner.”
