MADISON, Wis., July 24, 2019–Banyan Investment Group, an Inc. 5000 recognized hotel investment and management company that acquires and manages select-service hotels in the United States, today announced that it completed the acquisition of a three-hotel portfolio of Marriott- and Hilton-branded hotels located in Madison, Wis., for approximately $50 million. Additionally, the company announced that it will operate the portfolio, comprised of the 127-Room Courtyard by Marriott Madison East, 130-Room Fairfield Inn & Suites Madison East and 115-Room Hampton Inn Madison East Towne Mall Area.
“In addition to expanding our footprint into the Great Lakes region, this portfolio aligns perfectly with our strategy of targeting strong markets with multiple demand generators that are well positioned to weather all phases of the economic cycle,” said Andy Chopra, founding principal and chief investment officer, Banyan Investment Group. “All three hotels benefit from their location near Fortune 500 companies, including the American Family Insurance headquarters, located in nearby office parks and downtown Madison, as well as their proximity to Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago. Wisconsin’s state capital is the ideal Big 10 college town, home to the University of Wisconsin’s main campus. This creates year-round demand from students, families, government, business and leisure travelers to the area.”
“Due to the strength of our partners, we were able to complete this complicated transaction in just over two months,” said Kat Lash-Williams, hotel analyst, Banyan Investment Group. “From the lenders to the franchisors, everyone was well motivated to move quickly and precisely. As we grow across the United States, we will continue to target strong submarkets that allow us to have more predictable cash flow for our investors.”
