Falor Cos. is the most active hotel condominium converter in the market, having repositioned the Hotel Blake at 500 S. Dearborn St. as well as the Hotel Alden at 202 S. State St., a former office building. However, the company also is a hotel operator, with seven properties in the Miami area.
"Hotel 71 was an excellent investment for our company," says chairman and chief executive officer Robert W. Boykin, noting the price is more than $200,000 per room. "We believe this represents a very attractive selling price for the hotel."
