LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CIM Group announced today that its CIM Real Estate Debt Solutions business, on behalf of a CIM-managed fund, has closed a $15.6 million whole loan to Ad Astra Capital for the acquisition of the Hilton Garden Inn Casper in Casper, Wyoming.

Hilton Garden Inn Casper is a four-story, 123-room, select-service hotel located at 1150 N. Poplar St. in central Wyoming. Hotel amenities include a fitness center, indoor pool, 3,000 square feet of business and meeting space, lobby lounge and the Garden Grille & Bar, an on-site restaurant. The property, built in 2008, underwent a comprehensive $6.3 million renovation ($51,000 per key) under previous ownership that included upgrades to guest rooms, meeting space, and amenities. The renovations were completed in October 2024.

Guests benefit from the hotel’s location within close proximity to Ford Wyoming Center, the largest event venue in the state with up to 9,700 seats that hosts concerts, conventions, and sports and trade shows. Hilton Garden Inn Casper is also situated conveniently near WYO Sports Ranch, a 131,000-square-foot indoor sports complex for youth and adult sports, as well as Crossroads Park baseball and softball fields and the North Platte River, known for its recreational activities such as destination fishing, boating, and walkable trails.
