The Plasencia Group’s Senior Managing Director, C.A. Anderson; Managing Director, Nick Plasencia; and Vice President, John Plasencia advised the seller on the transaction.

“Our client was able to execute a strategic disposition following substantial renovations that is an important step in the ongoing evolution of their hotel portfolio,” commented C.A. Anderson.

“The Hyatt Place is well positioned to capture more of the growing demand in Philadelphia’s King of Prussia submarket emanating from numerous Fortune 500 companies and tremendous leisure attractions,” added John Plasencia.

“With the acquisition, Gehr Hospitality is poised to benefit from a limited competitive supply pipeline and the Hyatt Place’s continued emergence from its renovations,” remarked Nick Plasencia. “We continue to experience an uptick in family office investments in the lodging sector nationwide, particularly in premium-branded, institutional caliber assets such as the Hyatt Place.”

The Plasencia Group has successfully completed dozens of engagements in the Northeastern United States, including the recent transaction of the nearby Embassy Suites Valley Forge. It has been particularly successful in transacting premium-branded select service hotels nationwide over the last several years.
