This deal represents Banyan Investment Group’s ninth acquisition from its recently launched BIG Hotels LP I, LLC fund.
Banyan Investment Group founding principal and chief investment officer Andy Chopra said: “We continue to seek hotel acquisition opportunities that meet our strict criteria, namely strong brands in well-established markets with recession-resistant demand generators like universities and hospitals.
“The recently built, Silver LEED-certified hotel further benefits from its unmatchable location immediately off the Tuscaloosa Riverwalk with direct views of the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, the largest outdoor music venue in West Alabama.
“Following the completion of the nearly half-million-dollar refurbishment of the Lookout rooftop bar, along with improvements made to hotel public areas, we fully expect the hotel to increase its bottom-line profitability with the goal of the exceeding yield expectations for our investors.”
