Newmark Arranges $210 Million Financing Facility of Portfolio of Four citizenM Hotels

September 26, 2022 3:00 PM

On behalf of citizenM, Newmark has arranged a $210 million financing facility for a 904-key portfolio of four under construction and soon-to-be-delivered citizenM hotels. The Newmark team was led by Dustin Stolly and Jordan Roeschlaub, Vice Chairmen and Co-Heads of the Debt, Equity & Structured Finance team, and Senior Managing Director Nick Scribani.

The portfolio comprises citizenM hotels anchoring strong submarkets. CitizenM anchor investors include GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund and APG Asset Management, a Dutch pension system. Each subject property commands a superior location proximate to many local demand drivers, such as large corporations and popular dining, shopping and entertainment districts. All four markets generate strong demand from business travel as well.

Each purpose-built hotel will offer amenities tailored to today’s business and leisure travelers, such as 24/7 fitness centers, spacious and airy societyM meeting rooms, and canteenM restaurants that provide full-day food and beverage service. Additionally, certain hotels will feature ultra-desirable amenities, including cloudM rooftop bars and expansive terraces. Consistent with the global citizenM portfolio, each hotel offers a quick and intuitive check-in process, smart technology controlled by an in-room tablet and top-tier room quality.

“citizenM has the perfect room design to capture the live/work/play demand trends today’s generation of travelers seek; these four new hotels will continue to push the brand to new heights as citizenM continues its rapid U.S. expansion,” Stolly commented.

Roeschlaub added, “citizenM provides a unique guest experience that the modern traveler seeking attainable luxury craves. We are excited to see the brand grow across the United States by adding these hotels.”
