Alpine Realty Capital continues to be the most active hotel broker in Northern Michigan
Alpine Realty Capital, a leading advisor in hospitality real estate investment and a member of Hotel Brokers International, has finished another strong year of sales in Northern Michigan with the sale of the Super 8 by Wyndham in Houghton Lake, Michigan. While working with hotel owners throughout the entire state, Alpine has continued dominance in the Northern resort areas.
Alpine utilized the power of the Hotel Brokers International marketing platform and its website www.hbihotels.com to reach buyers from across the country. Through this network, Alpine has closed on eight hotel sales in the last thirteen months in Northern Michigan alone!
“Northern Michigan hotels are very attractive investment options given their strong revenues during the peak season and expanding shoulder and off seasons, coupled with the increases in cost and difficulty of new development,” said Ed Walsh, President of Alpine Realty Capital. “If you are interested in buying a hotel in one of the most beautiful and strongest tourism areas of the United States, contact us to find your property,” continued Walsh.
Alpine works daily with groups looking for opportunities to provide capital investment or other means to provide equity returns. In an environment in which the supply of lodging properties for sale is scarce and construction costs remain high, Alpine is seeing ever-increasing interest in acquisitions from various groups, including owner-operators, who are seeking to participate in the industry’s strong returns while buying for less than replacement cost.
