The hotel, which is still under construction, is expected to open in October. The transaction, which Innkeepers negotiated directly with Starwood, is expected to close in the fourth quarter.
This is the company's first acquisition from Starwood, according to its CEO Jeffrey H. Fisher. "This is a strong lodging market, where half the current supply is more than 10 years old, which we believe will give us an added competitive advantage," he says in this morning's press release.
The hotel is located in the mixed-use development of King Farm, which is undergoing expansion. Irvington Center office park, also part of King Farm, is adding an additional 1.7 million sf to the 3,200 residential units, 12,000 sf of retail and 920,000 sf of class A office space that's already been constructed.
According to the release, Innkeepers will fund the acquisition with its unsecured line of credit.
