Now demolished, a Travelodge Hotel had once been at the 3.6-acre site. The two firms have begun construction on the two hotels and expect to deliver in first quarter of 2008.

HFF managing director Mark Remington, who is based in the company's Washington, DC office, arranged the construction financing for the partners through Bank of America.

Three-year $17 million and $18.1 million adjustable-rate construction/mini-permanent loans were arranged for the Fairfield Holiday Inn properties Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites, respectively.

Remington would not disclose development costs but he tells GlobeSt.com that the loans were highly levered.
