Irving, TX – June 16, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — The Days Inn & Suites DFW North, Irving Texas has been sold. Bert Stevens of CB Richard Ellis’ Hotels Group, announced that the sale of the 134-unit, rooms-and-suites hotel property occurred mid-May of this year. The Hotel, built in 1983, was marketed at a price of $4.3M, or approximately $32,000 per unit. Its proximity to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) as well as the multiple business and corporate demand generators in the area helped to generate interest on a national level from a large investor base. The new owners, Ambe Hotels, will retain the Days Inn & Suites flag and will spend over $750,000 in upgrades and renovations that will provide opportunities for an increased market share.
Representing the Seller, the CBRE Hotel Team marketed the Property during the height of the economic downtown and was able to create value for the Seller in identifying the most qualified potential investors. Says Hankamer, “Although we were working with a tough economic environment, we were able to generate multiple offers due to the strength of the market and the Property’s position within the DFW market.
The CBRE Hotel Group is currently marketing Properties and Hotel Development opportunities throughout Texas including San Antonio, Austin, Dallas area and Houston as well as properties in Arizona. The Team of Stevens & Hankamer has been involved in the sale of over $700 million in hotel assets with a combined experience of almost 50 years within the hospitality arena. Recent transactions include a portfolio of all suite properties across the state, a portfolio of Drury Inn Hotels, The Del Lago Resort & Conference Center, two Marriott hotels in the Houston Galleria area, and a Radisson and a historic boutique hotel in Colorado.
