The first hotel for Elise Capital highlights recent transactions across the country.
Elise Capital makes first acquisition
Elise Capital, a hotel real estate investment firm, recently closed on its first hotel acquisition, The Hampton Inn by Hilton Douglas in Douglas, GA.
The property offers 61 guestrooms and completed a full renovation in 2019. Located in Douglas-Coffee County, the Hampton Inn Douglas is surrounded by local employers and one of the largest concentrations of cargo trailer manufacturers in the U.S. and is home to a peanut shelling operation, Premium Peanut.
Hilton Garden Inn Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport purchased
Legendary Capital sponsored the 182-room Hilton Garden Inn Houston Bush Intercontinental Airport (HGI Houston) acquisition in a $19.5 million transaction.
The deal utilized the company’s proprietary Equity Preservation UPREIT (EPU) structure—where HGI Houston ownership contributed their property in exchange for a special class of Transition Partnership Units (T-Units)—which allows for the potential preservation of the contributor’s equity as the property restabilizes. The consideration included paying off the loan secured by the HGI Houston, more than 651,000 T-Units to the contributor, plus closing costs. The loan payoff was secured using a bridge loan while permanent financing is put in place.
