Investment highlights

Southeast's Commercial Real Estate Capital: Atlanta's commercial real estate market is driven by world-class institutional anchors including Coca-Cola's global headquarters, CNN's downtown campus, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Delta's largest hub with over 108 million passengers in 2024. Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Beltline, and Atlanta's renowned culinary scene anchor the city's leisure economy, while the concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, critical infrastructure, and premier entertainment venues positions Atlanta as the Southeast's commercial real estate capital with exceptional stability and growth potential.

Multiple Value-Add Levers to Generate Additional Upside: The Property offers substantial upside potential through a comprehensive guestroom renovation. A targeted room renovation program can elevate this asset to compete effectively in the airport corridor, commanding higher rates and stronger market positioning. The expansive lobby space provides opportunities for new revenue-generating concepts, and the successful restaurant operation confirms market demand for enhanced F&B and grab-and-go services.

Institutionally-Maintained, Full-Service Hotel: The Property demonstrates strong operational fundamentals with consistent 70-80% occupancy, an experienced on-site management team, and well-maintained, recently enhanced common areas that provide optionality for a variety of transit, group, and corporate customers. The successful restaurant operations and active meeting space utilization reflect effective property management and staff execution, providing a stable platform for value enhancement initiatives.

Operational Synergies and Revenue Diversification Platform: The shared management structure with Sonesta Atlanta Airport North offers immediate operational efficiencies and cost savings, while the strong local restaurant following and recently renovated meeting space position the asset to capture increasing crew and group business post-refresh. Ancillary revenue streams including the 300-space parking operation, F&B operation, and meeting space utilization, provides a diversified income base that reduces reliance on room revenue and creates defensive cash flow stability during a repositioning phase.

Asset Repositioning in Recovering Submarket: Recent substantial infrastructure investments including facade improvements and a WiFi upgrade provide a solid operational foundation for prospective repositioning efforts. With additional planned work in 2026 and the potential for a renovation program to unlock further phases of value creation, the Property is positioned to capitalize on the resurgence of corporate travel demand and returning airline crews to the recovering airport submarket.

Value Creation Through Sonesta Brand Affiliation: The in-place management agreement with Sonesta Hotels & Resorts drives value through enhanced distribution networks, sophisticated revenue management systems, and operational efficiencies that maximize RevPAR performance. Sonesta's proven hospitality expertise and brand recognition enable premium market positioning and rate optimization within the competitive set. The Travel Pass loyalty program captures repeat corporate business, creating sustainable competitive advantages and revenue growth opportunities within the expanding Sonesta portfolio.
