TAMPA, FL— Within its capital markets group, the Plasencia Group, Inc. has established a hotel debt placement division designed to bring the Tampa, FL-based firm squarely into the hospitality lending arena and make it a single source for all hospitality related transactions. Stephen Kindl will lead the debt placement division as its managing director. He was previously a regional vp with the company and has more than 20 years of experience in real estate financing, acquisitions, and sales. He will work with the Plasencia Group’ seven offices as they assist clients with debt placement and the short- and long-term refinancings of their hotel portfolios. Prior to the formation of the debt placement division, the Plasencia Group has been informally assisting clients in debt placement transactions. The new division will be based in Connecticut.
