KIHEI, HI—DXD Capital, a self-storage private equity investor, announced the groundbreaking for a new Class A storage facility in Kihei, HI.

 Once constructed, the facility will have 357 individual storage units totaling 45,863 net rentable square feet located in the Maui Research & Technology Park in Kihei.

 It will feature drive-up non-climate-controlled units designed to be especially helpful to the commercial customer base on Maui. The facility is expected to open in the first quarter of 2025.

RYCON will serve as the general contractor, and American Savings Bank was the construction lender. Extra Space will manage this facility.

The property was acquired in April 2023 through DXD’s second fund, DXD Self Storage Fund II, which launched in June 2022 and has since invested in seven self storage developments and one seven-facility portfolio acquisition across the United States.


Drew Dolan

"DXD was offered the chance to construct self storage facilities on Maui through a local connection,” said Drew Dolan, Principal and Fund Manager. "For me, this opportunity represents a career highlight—a chance to be part of the booming Maui Research and Tech Park, which has excellent fundamentals for self storage and extreme barriers to entry.

CBRE Expects RevPAR Growth to Improve in H2 2024, Driven by Holiday and International Travel

  

 Rachael Rothman

Dallas, TX, May 16, 2024  CBRE expects revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth to improve in the second half of 2024, following a weaker-than-expected first quarter.

 CBRE’s latest forecast projects a 2.0% increase in RevPAR growth for 2024, down from the 3.0% estimated in February 2024. RevPAR is now expected to grow by 3% for the remainder of the year, driven by international tourists, holiday travel and limited supply growth.

 

CBRE forecasts GDP growth of 2.3% and average inflation of 3.2% in 2024. The performance of the lodging industry is closely tied to the strength of the economy, as there is typically a strong correlation between GDP and RevPAR growth.

 

“We anticipate modest growth over the next few quarters, supported by a continued uptick in visitors from overseas and election-related events, such as political party conventions,” said Rachael Rothman, CBRE’s Head of Hotel Research & Data Analytics.

CBRE remains optimistic that RevPAR will achieve a nominal record of $101.20 this year, representing 115% of pre-pandemic levels in 2019. This outlook is based on projected average daily rate (ADR) growth of 1.7% and a 0.2% increase in occupancy.

Michael Nhu

“Slower RevPAR growth reflects softer demand, stickier inflation and high interest rates,” said Michael Nhu, Senior Economist and CBRE’s Head of Global Hotels Forecasting.

 

 “People have already spent a significant portion of their pandemic-era savings, and on top of that, the lingering inflationary pressures are putting a strain on discretionary spending, especially for more price-sensitive consumers."

 

CBRE expects muted supply growth in the medium term due to elevated financing and construction costs. For 2024, CBRE expects supply growth of just under 1%, with hotel supply projected to have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.9% over the next three years.
