American Hotel Income Properties REIT LP announced today the completion of its previously announced acquisition of a 133-room rail crew hotel located in Lincoln, Nebraska for an aggregate purchase price of US$3.9 million, including approximately US$1.2 million of planned capital expenditures and excluding closing and post-acquisition adjustments. The Lincoln Property was acquired at a trailing twelve month capitalization rate of approximately 14% after all management fees and an FF&E reserve excluding renovation costs. The planned renovations include conversion of the property to an industry leading Oak Tree Inn rail crew hotel including the addition of “Dark and Quiet” guestrooms, common area upgrades, new signage and new property management systems. AHIP funded the purchase of the Lincoln Property with cash on-hand and expects to refinance the property with a conventional mortgage during the first quarter of 2016.
Mr. Rob O’Neill, Chief Executive Officer of AHIP, commented, “I am pleased to announce the completion of this acquisition for less than US$30,000 per key fully refurbished, which is well below replacement cost.” Mr. O’Neill continued, “AHIP continues to actively pursue accretive opportunities to build on its relationship with key railway clients to create a reliable cash flow stream for unitholders.”
AHIP’s diversified portfolio now consists of 80 hotels totaling 7,048 guestrooms with 45 rail crew hotels totaling 3,718 guest rooms and 35 branded hotels totaling 3,330 guestrooms.The Lincoln Property will be managed by TR Lodging Enterprises Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of O’Neill Hotels & Resorts Ltd.
