Broadshore Capital Announces $150 Million Hospitality Investment Program

Closes first transaction, $19.8 million mezzanine construction loan for AC Seattle hotel

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Broadshore Capital Partners (Broadshore), a leading national real estate investment management and advisory services company, announced today the formation of a $150 million hospitality investment program in partnership with a global alternative investment manager. Consistent with Broadshore’s long-term approach to opportunistically investing in hospitality properties, Broadshore will invest debt and equity through originating new high-yield financings, acquiring loans and making direct equity investments.

Concurrent with the completion of the joint venture, the partnership closed a $19.8 million mezzanine construction loan to RevPAR Companies for the development of a 200-key AC Hotel by Marriott at 117 Yale Avenue North in Seattle, WA. The new hotel is well-located in the prominent South Lake Union district, which is a vital business hub with Amazon, Facebook, Google and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and numerous other corporations in the area.

“We believe the general recovery of the hospitality industry from the pandemic-fueled setbacks present significant opportunities for our new hospitality investment program. Broadshore’s experience as a hospitality investor and lender positions us to capitalize on what we view as a sizeable market opening,” said Brad Howe, CEO, Broadshore.

Broadshore has extensive hospitality investment experience, developed over more than 30 years, which it will apply to management of the new investment program. The partnership will invest nationally and across all hotel asset classes with a focus on asset location, sponsorship and business plan. The venture is targeting loan originations, performing and non-performing loan purchases and hotel acquisitions in the range of $10 - $75 million.

Leading new originations for the partnership’s hospitality investment program is Broadshore Senior Vice President Chris Miller, based in Denver, who has been part of the team responsible for Broadshore’s hospitality acquisition and debt origination programs for approximately eight years.

In addition to the new hospitality investment venture, Broadshore will maintain its existing debt programs including its direct lending program for commercial real estate asset repositioning or new construction, and its loan acquisition platform.
