Summit Hotel Properties president and CEO Jonathan P. Stanner said: “We are thrilled to announce this transformational investment opportunity for the acquisition of 27 hotels that are complementary to our existing portfolio of high-quality, well-located assets and significantly expands our presence in high-growth Sun Belt markets.

“We have creatively structured the transaction with the issuance of both common and preferred operating partnership units and continued our partnership with GIC, which will preserve nearly all our existing liquidity of approximately $450 million.”

NewcrestImage managing partner and CEO Mehul Patel said: “We at NewcrestImage are extremely honored and proud to craft this transaction with the outstanding team at Summit Hotel Properties.  NewcrestImage has assembled a collection of high-quality distinctive Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and IHG hotel properties throughout the Sun Belt region, which will be a great addition to Summit’s portfolio.”

The 27-hotel portfolio has a total of 3,709 guestrooms.

According to Summit Hotel Properties, the newer assets with Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and IHG brand affiliations are complementary to its existing hotel portfolio.

This deal will boost Summit Hotel Properties’ total room count by almost 35% to more than 15,000 keys across 100 hotels in 42 markets of the US.

Out of the total portfolio of 100 hotels, 61 will be completely owned by Summit Hotel Properties.

Summit Hotel Properties has received a $410m financing commitment from Bank of America and Wells Fargo Bank that will serve as the primary debt financing for the deal.
