Parc 55 is the latest Bay Area\u00a0hotel to attract institutional investors to one of the nation\u2019s top hospitality markets. Last month, the Blackstone Group L.P. paid about $70 million for a 75 percent stake in the 1,011-key property located in Downtown San Francisco, Bloomberg News reported. Blackstone also obtained $152 million in debt financing from Archon Group LP., an affiliate of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.<\/p>\n

The moves recapitalize a property that Rockpoint Group L.L.C. and Highgate Holdings Inc. bought six years ago for about $220 million, Bloomberg News reported. But the owners defaulted in February on a $211 million loan. \u00a0Rockpoint Group will invest about $10 million in new capital and retain about 23 percent\u00a0of the hotel\u2019s ownership. Highsgate Holdings will keep a 2 percent stake and stay on as the hotel\u2019s management team.<\/p>\n

For Blackstone, whose hospitality holdings include Hilton Worldwide, Parc 55 is the third hotel the private equity giant has acquired in the robust Bay Area market.\u00a0During a typical week in March,\u00a0occupancy rates for the area stood at 79 percent\u2014significantly higher than the national average of 62 percent, according to figures from Smith Travel Research.<\/em> Average room rates have also climbed 21 percent year over year to $166.39, compared to the national 3.6 percent increase to $104.65.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
