Lobby of Minneapolis Grand Hotel, 615 2nd Ave South, Minneapolis, MN
MINNEAPOLIS, MN—Bethesda, MD-based Pebblebrook Hotel Trust has closed on the sale of the 140-room, Grand Hotel Minneapolis in Minneapolis, MN for $30 million. Pebblebrook acquired the property in 2010 from iStar Financial for $33 million, according to Real Capital Analytics, a proprietary research database that tracks commercial real estate transactions.
Pebblebrook says the sale price includes the 140-room hotel and the 57,000 square foot fitness center which is fully leased to a third-party tenant until June 2019.
The sales price reflects a 7.9x EBITDA multiple and an 11.2% net operating income capitalization rate (after an assumed annual capital reserve of 4% of total hotel revenues) based on the trailing twelve-month operating performance for the period ended October 31, 2018. Excluding the approximate $1.3 million of net rental income generated by the third-party lease, the sales price reflects a 12.2x EBITDA multiple and a 6.7% net operating income capitalization rate. The company estimates that the taxable loss associated with the sale will be approximately $4.0 million.
Proceeds from the sale of the Grand Hotel Minneapolis will be utilized for general business purposes which may include reducing the company's outstanding debt. As of result of this completed sale, the company's total net debt to trailing 12-month corporate EBITDA is estimated to be 5.1 times.
Managing director Adam McGaughy, executive vice president John Nugent and vice president Emily Lustig from Jones Lang LaSalle brokered the transaction.
In mid-December, the company intends to provide an updated 2018 and fourth quarter outlook incorporating the sale of the Grand Hotel Minneapolis and all acquisitions and dispositions associated with the closing of the acquisition of LaSalle Hotel Properties.
Pebblebrook Hotel Trust is a publicly traded real estate investment trust organized to opportunistically acquire and invest primarily in upper upscale, full-service hotels located in urban markets in major gateway cities. The company owns 63 hotels, totaling approximately 15,300 guest rooms, located in 10 states and the District of Columbia.
UPDATE, 12/11/2018, 3:18 p.m.: An earlier version of this story did not name the Jones Lang LaSalle executives who brokered the transaction.
