The Plasencia Group transacts Modern Lifestyle Hotel in Burgeoning Midtown Atlanta
Tampa, Fla. (July 12, 2022) – THE PLASENCIA GROUP has closed the sale of the 176-room Canopy Atlanta Midtown. The firm advised a venture comprised of Greystar, Concord Hospitality, and Whitman Peterson with their disposition of the hotel, marking the second Atlanta-area lodging sale consummated by the advisory firm over the past three months. Peachtree Hotel Group, headquartered in Atlanta, acquired and will operate the property.
The Canopy Atlanta Midtown opened in December 2018 in conjunction with the adjacent Ascent Midtown Apartments, developed by Greystar. The hotel anchors the northern end of Midtown Atlanta and presents an auspicious brand experience for the booming submarket, which continues to attract droves of blue-chip corporations and highly-educated residents, all in immediate proximity to Georgia Tech’s 400-acre campus, Savannah College of Art and Design’s (SCAD) newly-purchased Midtown Atlanta campus, and an abundance of leisure amenities within the area’s urban core.
“We’re extremely pleased to help our client successfully exit their investment and, likewise, are excited to see Peachtree Hotel Group, a leader within the hospitality industry and a household name in the Atlanta area, assume ownership of this pristine property,” commented Chris Plasencia. He added, “As a leading lifestyle hotel within Midtown Atlanta, the Canopy’s impressive suite of amenities and contemporary guestroom product position the property among the submarket’s finest lodging options.” Atlanta remains in the crosshairs of nearly every lodging investor due to its ceaseless guestroom demand and world-class airlift capacity, while the Midtown submarket is anticipated to realize outsized economic growth as the focal district for expansion among leading educational institutions, tech companies, and residential development.
Lou Plasencia, Robert Wiemer, Nick Plasencia, and Chris Plasencia facilitated the transaction, adding to the impressive list of recent successes for The Plasencia Group and its clients. The firm has orchestrated the sale and financing of more than $1.2 billion in lodging transactions across 6,100 rooms in the Southeast United States’ most active lodging markets over the last 12 months.
