ABR Chesapeake Fund IV, a real estate fund sponsored by ABR, invested in the venture.
Located in the Kalorama and Dupont neighborhoods, the acquisition brings Modus’ portfolio to 13 hotels, with seven in the metro D.C. area.
“Recently having undergone a $6 million renovation, The Normandy reflects a sophisticated personality and style and is a perfect complement to our expanding collection of distinctive, lifestyle hotels,” commented Aaron Katz, president/CEO of Modus Hotels.
