Our Thesis

Three Reasons This Asset Class Works Right Now.

The Sun Belt coastal hotel market is experiencing structural distress at the same moment multifamily rents are at historic highs. We sit at the intersection of those two trends.

01
Distressed Hotel Supply

Sun Belt hotel owners are facing rising insurance, deferred CapEx, and post-pandemic occupancy gaps. Many are tired, retiring, or undercapitalized. Aged-out exterior corridor hotels especially are coming available at significant discounts to replacement cost.

02
Conversion Economics

Hotel rooms convert to studio and one-bedroom multifamily units at roughly half the cost of ground-up construction. With Sun Belt rents at all-time highs, the math on hotel-to-residential conversion has never been stronger.

03
Off-Market Sourcing Edge

Our pipeline is direct-from-owner, sourced through proprietary outreach to AAHOA hotel owners and Sun Belt operators who have never received a serious offer. No CoStar listings. No broker auctions. No competitive bidding.
