DSH Hotel Advisors was retained as the exclusive broker to market for sale the Magnuson Hotel Clearwater, a 118-room limited-service hotel located directly off US-19, approximately 7 miles from Clearwater Beach. The firm generated approximately 30 offers on the property – allowing the seller to choose from a multitude of buyers, while achieving a healthy sales price. The sale added to an already lengthy list of hotels that DSH Hotel Advisors has sold in Florida.

"There was a tremendous amount of activity on this property from a wide variety of buyers. Due to the attractive price per key at the list price, we saw a high level of interest from buyers that considered converting the hotel to multifamily or extended-stay. With the unique zoning of the property, and ability to build vertical up to 150ft, there were numerous developers reviewing the opportunity as well. Ultimately, the highest bidders were buyers that were planning to keep the property operating as a hotel, while renovating and changing the franchise affiliation. This deal really highlighted the amount of demand for hotels in the Tampa Bay MSA," says Hopper.

"We generated 30+ offers from buyers all over the US and internationally, despite marketing the property for sale during Covid. The high level of buyer activity surrounding Clearwater allowed us to maximize the sale price for the seller while also leaving upside for the new buyer through capital improvements. In addition, the Tampa Bay MSA is experiencing significant growth which made this a unique value-add acquisition opportunity for the buyers (Rore Investment Group LLC) – we believe they are going to unlock the property's true potential," says Taylor
