Atlantic City�s Tannen Towers Offered to Qualified Investors Casino-Adjacent Property Available for Hotel or Timeshare Redevelopment |
Atlantic City, NJ, November 29, 2000 � Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels has
been appointed to identify a joint venture partner for The Towers (formerly
known as Tannen Towers), a vacant, luxury apartment building ideally suited
for hotel or timeshare redevelopment. The 31-story Towers is situated
at the main entrance to Resorts Casino Hotel and is a prominent feature
in the Atlantic City skyline.
�Few are aware of the exceptional strength of the Atlantic City timeshare market,� said Arthur Adler, Managing Director, Americas, of Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels. �Interval sales at The Towers� two primary competitors exceeded $45 million in 1999 and are on pace to surpass that in 2000.� Originally conceived as a luxury, high-rise condominium complex, The Towers has 296 apartment units (including a mix of large one- and two- bedroom units), a five-story parking deck for 265 cars, health club, outdoor pool and 8,100 square feet of retail and/or meeting space. According to Alan Tantleff, Senior Vice President of Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels, numerous opportunities exist to form a strategic alliance with several of the casino hotels. �There is enormous potential for a partnership here because all of the casinos need more rooms to generate casino traffic. The overall casino hotel market runs in excess of 95% occupancy annually. The two closest casinos, Resorts Casino Hotel and Trump�s Taj Mahal, have expressed a willingness to work together to ensure that the property is redeveloped as a hotel or timeshare use.� Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels, the leading hotel investment banking services group in the world, provides clients with value-added investment opportunities and advice.
