Barings Provides Acquisition Financing on Phoenix Hotel
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Barings, one of the world's leading investment managers, announced today that it has provided a bridge loan to finance the purchase of a hotel in Phoenix, Arizona.
A joint venture between Arbor Lodging and a real estate private equity firm, acquired the AC Hotel, a 199-room, upscale select service hotel built in 2021.
"We are excited about partnering up with Arbor Lodging to acquire a high quality hospitality asset in the growing and dynamic downtown Phoenix market," said Akbar Tajani, Managing Director with Barings. "We believe that experienced sponsorship with superior assets acquired at an attractive purchase price, will be able to take advantage of the expected recovery in the hotel sector, coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic."
The financing from Barings has a five-year term and includes funding for potential operating expense and interest shortfalls. CBRE advised the sponsorship on the financing.
AC Hotel Downtown Phoenix is located at 414 N 5th Street in Phoenix, across the street from the 30-acre Phoenix Biomedical Campus and is situated in close proximity to the Phoenix Convention Center, Phoenix Suns Arena, Chase Field, and The Thunderbird School of Management at Arizona State University.
