Hilton Hotel Pasadena, California |
McLean, Virginia � May 13, 2004 � Continued investor appetite for full-service
business class hotels in first-tier markets is demonstrated by Molinaro
Koger�s announcement today that the firm structured the sale of the Hilton
Hotel, Pasadena, California, on behalf of owners Angelo, Gordon & Co.
and The Shidler Group.
�This first-class asset attracted significant investor attention,� commented Rob Koger, president of Molinaro Koger and principal broker. Natural attention combined with Molinaro Koger�s strategic marketing of the asset resulted in competitive bidding, said Mr. Koger. �The Los Angeles market is performing well and with high barriers to entry for well-located full-service properties, the Hilton Pasadena is a prime acquisition.� For further information about this transaction and current listings,
