1Q 2011 Earnings Release Set for May 16
SIOUX FALLS, S.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Summit Hotel Properties, Inc. (NYSE:INN), a real estate investment trust
(REIT) specializing in the ownership of premium-branded hotels in the
upscale and upper midscale segments, announced today the closure on
three previously announced acquisitions, as well as an additional
property purchase agreement.
Acquisitions Ahead of Anticipated Schedule
The company has closed on the previously announced acquisitions of the
following properties:
-
A 121-room Staybridge Suites in Denver (Cherry Creek), CO for $83,000
per key, at a post-renovation NTM capitalization rate of 10.3 percent.
-
A 143-room Holiday Inn in Gwinnett/Duluth (Atlanta), GA for $49,000 a
key and a post-renovation NTM capitalization rate of 12.2 percent.
-
A 91-suite Homewood Suites by Hilton in Jackson-Ridgeland, MS for
$80,000 per key, and a post-renovation NTM capitalization rate of 12.0
percent.
The company also announced a purchase agreement on the following
property:
-
A 122-room Hilton Garden Inn in Gwinnett/Duluth (Atlanta), GA for
$115,000 a key and a post-renovation NTM capitalization rate of 9.0
percent.
The purchase of these properties is squarely in line with the company’s
strategy of acquiring immediately accretive properties at attractive
post-renovation capitalization rates. It also aligns with the company’s
“clustering” strategy by grouping hotels in close geographic areas to
gain efficiencies and management advantages. “This strategy allows our
management team to more effectively and efficiently manage the
properties to maximize return for our investors and has worked very well
for our company over the past nearly 20 years,” said Dan Hansen,
Summit’s chief executive officer.
