Elements of Success

Inner Circle Investments brings together the elements of success necessary for sourcing, acquiring, financing, operating and selling hospitality real estate…now and into the future.

Acquisition

Our history includes successful acquisition of hospitality assets for more than 160 individual transactions. This success can be attributed to the selectivity borne from an extensive brokerage background and numerous industry contacts. With a deal flow to rival or in many cases exceed the largest public or private hotel companies, Inner Circle Investments will typically see opportunities before they hit the open market. With an excellent industry reputation as disciplined buyers and skilled negotiators, we are extremely responsive, able to commit to a transaction before more bureaucratic hospitality companies can gain a consensus of the principals. We have the experience and sophistication to devise creative solutions and the freedom to acquire assets through a myriad of structures, thereby providing a distinctive advantage over other potential buyers who can only compete by price.

Financing

Either for its own account or for its clients, the Principals of Inner Circle have arranged or procured more than $5 billion of capital for hospitality real estate. The majority of these funds have been for the most challenging type of asset to finance…high leverage of under-performing hotel assets. A hallmark of past success has been the creativity of the financial structure combined with the ability to quickly and accurately analyze projects and the underlying market.

Management and Marketing

The company has developed an unprecedented track record with regard to property operations, dramatically increasing cash flow, profitability and value within the first twelve months of ownership. As an owner/operator, we have developed property management protocols designed to maximize the returns on our real estate portfolio.

Renovation

The acquisition of under-performing or undervalued assets often requires renovation to improve the physical condition and reposition the property within the market. By internalizing this function we are able to monitor and control the entire process, from design and bids through completion of the project. The result is higher quality, lower cost and a shorter time frame, all of which translate into enhanced profitability and creation of value.

Disposition

The decision to sell or refinance is usually difficult, requiring careful analysis of numerous, often unrelated variables. The ultimate realization of value is a function of being able to anticipate the market and either sell or refinance assets at the height of their profitability. Consideration of local and national real estate and capital markets will influence the timing of the transaction. Historically the Company has succeeded in bringing projects full circle by mapping out an effective exit strategy in detail and executing the plan to yield the highest possible return.
