MIAMI—Christian Charre, Paul Weimer, and Natalie Castillo are joining forces with CBRE. The trio made up the core of The Charre Group, which as earned a reputation in South Florida’s hotel market as a trusted real estate investment banking firm and advisor.

“Strong demand from U.S. and Latin American investors coupled with the high barriers to entry set the Miami and South Florida hotel markets in an enviable position,” commented Ken Krasnow, managing director for the South Florida offices of CBRE. “Investors from all over the world have taken notice.”

Charre, Weimer, and Castillo have experience dealing in all types of hotel assets, including luxury hotels and resorts, full-service hotels, boutique assets, select service, and extended stay properties. Recent clients include Sunstone Hotel Investors with the Royal Palm, The Blackstone Group with the disposition of the Miami Beach Resort, and The Carlyle Group with its acquisition of two hotels in Miami Beach. Together, the trio has sold or financed more than $3 billion worth of assets.
