The hospitality industry has recovered rapidly in the past few years, and this asset was able to show consistent year- over-year growth in its perfor- mance to achieve this accretive loan structure. The sponsors built the hotel and have owned and operated it since 2017. It is situated directly adjacent to Virginia

Tech University, providing a consistent flow of guests who require more extended stays while visiting the university. Blacksburg also allows access to the Blue Ridge Mountains, several seasonal festivals, a growing winery and craft beer scene, and several incredible wedding venues. Greysteel director Stephen Haase secured the bank loan on behalf of the sponsor. “Newport Hospitality Group is a top-tier hotel management and development company, and working with their team on this opportunity was ex - tremely rewarding.

We continue to see activity in the capital markets for hotels and expect a more stable lending environ- ment in 2024, further bolster- ing loan options,” said Haase.
