ATLANTA—Hotel Development Partners (HDP) recently added seven select-service Marriott hotels to its growing portfolio of properties. HDP purchased the properties from Houston-based Moody National. Hotel Equities will continue to manage all seven hotels through its JV partnership with HDP.
The hotels included in the purchase are Fairfield Inn & Suites, Alpharetta, Fairfield Inn & Suites Buckhead, Fairfield Inn & Suites Perimeter Center, SpringHill Suites Alpharetta, TownePlace Alpharetta, TownePlace Suites Kennesaw, all in metro Atlanta, and the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Macon, GA.
HDP holds additional high-quality assets including the Residence Inn Surfside/Miami Beach, opening this summer; the Hampton Inn & Suites Dunwoody/Perimeter Center, under construction in Atlanta; and the Fairfield Inn & Suites North Charleston in South Carolina. Further acquisition and new-development deals include several existing hotels in Charleston, SC.
“HDP is very fortunate to have the opportunity to invest in these hotels with their industry-leading brands and highly desirable locations,” said Allen T. O’Brien, CEO, HDP. “Over the next nine months, we will invest $17 million into these properties to improve the guest experience and the economic performance of each hotel. When completed, the renovation process places the hotels in position to meet the growing demand of the Atlanta market.”
“Our firm has a long-standing history with these seven hotels beginning with selecting the sites and brand affiliations and continuing through the construction,” said Fred Cerrone, COO of HDP and founder & CEO of Hotel Equities. “Not only are the hotels positioned in excellent markets, but the new capital structure allows for a complete renovation to update each one. We are excited to maintain continuity with both our customer base and our excellent staffs and be a part of the future of these assets.”
