Dallas, Texas � October 14, 2004 � The Harvey Hotel, located adjacent
to the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, was sold today by FelCor
Lodging Trust. Bill Stadler and Mark Rome of Molinaro Koger�s Dallas
office advised the Irving, TX-based lodging real estate investment trust
in this transaction which is one of the largest single asset hotel sales
in Texas this year. The prominent 15-story hotel was purchased by
the Procaccianti Group, a privately held hotel real estate investment company
based in Rhode Island.
�We are pleased to have assisted FelCor in their ongoing efforts to reposition their portfolio by selling non-strategic assets,� said Bill Stadler, Managing Director of Molinaro Koger�s Dallas office. The Procaccianti Group plans to invest in a significant renovation of all aspects of the hotel and to rebrand the property as a Westin Hotel. �The buyer recognized the value enhancement opportunity of this asset through its repositioning and upscale branding along with a strengthening sub-market generated by the airport expansion,� added Mark Rome, Vice President, Molinaro Koger. Located 1.5 miles from D/FW Airport, the Harvey Hotel encompasses 506 rooms including 58 suites and an array of amenities for business and leisure travelers highlighted by two restaurants, lounge, 37,000 square feet of meeting space, fitness room, business center and an indoor/ outdoor rooftop pool.
