CBRE HOTELS CLOSES SALE OF 8TH HOTEL IN THE FLORIDA KEYS SINCE 2013

Key Colony Bay Resort in Marathon, Florida is Sold

Miami, FL – March 5, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — CBRE Hotels arranged the sale of the 80-room Key Colony Bay Resort, a property located on four acres in Marathon, Florida. Baywood Hotels acquired the asset from The Peebles Corporation. This represents the eighth Florida Keys hotel sale in two years to be arranged by the Miami-based CBRE Hotels team. CBRE Hotels’ Robert Taylor and Ron Danko represented the seller.

“With RevPAR comparable to Miami Beach, the Florida Keys are a hot market with significant barriers to entry. As a result, many of the largest owner/operators, REITS and private equity funds have bid for our listings in the Keys,” said CBRE Hotels’ Mr. Taylor. “Following purchases of such assets, most buyers see an opportunity to maximize their investment with significant upgrades, repositioning, and rebranding that transforms the property into an even more attractive destination.”
