KEY QUOTES:
“Hotel Maren is a high-quality beachfront property in a compelling submarket with attractive long-term fundamentals. We believe there is a meaningful opportunity to build on the hotel’s existing strengths through targeted enhancements of the property and guest experience. We’re also pleased to continue our longstanding relationship with Neil, Vann, and the entire Newbond team.”

“Fort Lauderdale Beach continues to evolve as a destination, and we see tremendous opportunity in this particular stretch south of Las Olas. Hotel Maren is a recently built, oceanfront asset with oversized guestrooms, exceptional water views, and a location that we believe will become increasingly compelling as the surrounding area continues to attract significant investment. We look forward to partnering with Rockpoint on the acquisition of this asset and the opportunity to elevate its positioning in one of Fort Lauderdale’s most dynamic micro-markets.”
