NEW YORK CITY—This week's focus of GlobeSt.com's 15th Anniversary program is on investment trends. Today, specifically, the focus is on hotels. In the Spotlight story this morning executive editor Natalie Dolce takes a look at the lodging sector's performance since GlobeSt started covering it in 2000.
Lodging has certainly traversed a long course since then, having gone from being considered one of the weakest asset classes in commercial real estate to being one of the most sought-after places to pot capital—twice in the past decade and a half. Breaking down the numbers for the sector, these trends become clear, as do the players behind the most action in the marketplace.
Using data from Real Capital Analytics, we present below the trends that hotel volume and pricing has taken since 2002, the latest figures available from the locally based research and analytics firm. We also look at the top 15 buyers of hotel properties filtered by the total number of properties acquired, total number of guestrooms acquired and total dollar volume of acquisitions since 2001.
