WESTPORT, Conn. - February 23, 2007 - Northview Hotel Group
announced today that it has entered into a joint venture partnership with
Behringer Harvard and Five Star Realty to acquire Hawk�s Cay Resort in
the Florida Keys. Northview will be managing the property and overseeing
a $27 million renovation focused on enhancing the resort�s amenities and
guest experience.
Renovation plans include completely remodeled guest rooms and upgraded two- and three-bedroom villas, a new lobby, new dining options, and a redesigned pool and lagoon area serving as the centerpiece of the resort. �Following the renovation, Hawk�s Cay will be positioned as a world class resort, appealing to families, couples and upscale groups,� according to Northview Hotel Group Partner Simon Hallgarten. �We are excited to include Hawk�s Cay in our growing portfolio of properties.� Hawk�s Cay Resort is located on Duck Key Island, approximately 60 miles
north of Key West and 90 miles south of Miami. The resort features 177

in a rental management program. The resort also offers 25,000 square feet
of meeting space and 10,000 square feet of retail and office space.
