NEW YORK CITY—Just as most major lodging companies have franchise flags in several different sectors, from economy to upscale, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels now has the ability to sell mid-scale and limited-service hotels in the US. The move comes with its acquisition of ThompsonCalhounFair Hotel Brokerage. The deal was announced during the 27th Annual New York University International Hospitality Industry Investment Conference, held here at the Waldorf-Astoria.

While neither JLL nor ThompsonCalhounFair would comment on the financials behind the deal, sources tell GlobeSt.com that it is likely valued at three to four times the company’s annual earnings. TCF’s three founding principals, H. Keith Thompson, Al Calhoun and Mark Fair, were named managing directors of JLL Hotels’ new Select Service Division, which will specialize in the sale of mid-market and limited-service lodging properties. Arthur Adler, managing director and CEO-Americas for JLL Hotels, said that while his firm is a leader in selling upscale and luxury assets, advising on the sale of more than 23,000 hotels rooms worldwide worth $5.2 billion in 2004, it wanted to expand into other sectors of the industry to service clients with diversified portfolios.
