Molinaro Koger Structures Sale of Hampton Inn - Albany, Georgia
Atlanta, Georgia | Andrew Kern, Senior Vice President of Molinaro Koger (MK), announced today his role as advisor to Albany-Tyre I, L.P. in the sale of the 82-room Hampton Inn, Albany, Georgia. The hotel has been purchased by H.V.N., LLC for an undisclosed price. The purchaser will retain the property’s Hampton Inn flag under a 10-year license agreement.
“Located in the heart of southwest Georgia, the Albany lodging market has experienced a consistent and steady upward demand trend,” commented Mr. Kern. “We are pleased to have structured an advantageous transaction for our client by facilitating the sale of the Hampton Inn in this highly active market.”
The Hampton Inn is located immediately adjacent to the area’s leading shopping center; the 870,000 square foot Albany Shopping Mall. The property is close to several demand generators including; Albany State University, the Marine Corps Logistics Base and the regional operations of several Fortune 500 companies including Procter & Gamble, Miller Brewing Company, Merck & Company, and Masterfoods U.S.A. Room night demand for the hotel is poised to further benefit from completion of the $210 million Albany Downtown Riverfront Master Plan, a downtown redevelopment initiative, as well as the new Arena Football team, the South Georgia Wildcats, which are based in Albany and played their inaugural season in 2005.
“This property is ideally positioned for the market, and benefits from the Hampton Inn brand. As one of the nation’s leading select service brands, Hampton has a high level of consumer loyalty and an outstanding frequent guest program,” said Mr. Kern.
