Jacksonville Hotel Transaction

.

NEW YORK - Sept. 20, 2005 - Cushman & Wakefield, the world's largest privately held real estate services firm, today announced the sale of the 249-key Holiday Inn Baymeadows in Jacksonville, FL. The Hotel Transactions Group of Cushman & Wakefield acted as transaction advisor in the sale, with assistance from locally based Commercial Jacksonville, a Cushman & Wakefield Alliance office.

Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller, Connor Hospitality Ltd., in the transaction, which closed on September 15, 2005.

"This asset generated significant interest among both local Jacksonville-based investors as well as national groups," said Paul Fitzpatrick, a senior managing director at Cushman & Wakefield. "With moer than 6.67 acres, the Holiday Inn Baymeadows offers a tremendous opportunity for a new buyer to explore various expansion and/or repositioning strategies." 

The buyer, Jalaram Hotels, headquartered in nearby St. Augustine, Florida, owns several other Jacksonville-area properties. "Jalaram has a proven track-record owning and operating hotels in and around the Baymeadows submarket," said Mr. Fitzpatrick, noting that Jalaram is a good fit for the property.
