DALLAS--The Buccini/Pollin Group, a privately-held, full-service real estate acquisition, development and management company (BPG) based in Wilmington, Dela., has acquired the 282-room DoubleTree by Hilton DFW Airport North. The hotel will be operated by PM Hospitality Strategies Inc.

"We identified Texas, and Dallas in particular, as a market to focus on due to its diversified economy, strong employment growth and skilled work force,” says Dave Pollin, co-founder of BPG. “We believe that this is the ideal time for us to continue expanding our footprint beyond our East Coast home base, and all signs suggest that Dallas is a smart long-term play.”

Located less than two miles from D/FW International Airport in Irving, the eight-story hotel is situated near corporations such as Allstate, Siemens, Verizon, AT&T, IMB and Microsoft. Hotel amenities include approximately 17,000 square feet of function space, an outdoor pool, 24-hour fitness center, full-service business center and airport shuttle service. Guests can choose between Flatland Grille & Bar, featuring contemporary Texas cuisine, and Starbucks for dining.
