SCOTTSDALE, AZ—The 47th Street Phoenix Airport, LLC, an entity wholly owned by the Caliber Distressed Real Estate Income Fund (CDIF, LLC) and managed by Caliber Hospitality, a division of Caliber—The Wealth Development Company, has closed on the four-story, 259-guestroom Hilton Phoenix Airport Hotel in Phoenix for $37.72 million.
Located adjacent to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, Caliber, which also owns the Holiday Inn & Suites Phoenix Airport and the Crowne Plaza Phoenix Airport, now owns more than 51% of full-service hotel rooms, 781 rooms, in the Phoenix Airport Submarket.
