Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels announced today that its capital markets team has secured a $42 million,10-year, non-recourse, fixed rate loan from UBS Securities LLC to facilitate the refinancing of the Magnolia Hotel Houston on behalf of Stout Street Hospitality (formerly known as Magnolia Hotels).
The Magnolia Hotel maintains an irreplaceable location in the heart of Houston’s bustling downtown business district. The 314-room boutique hotel, which was developed by Stout Street Hospitality, opened in March 2003 following a meticulous rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of the historic Post Dispatch building. The property features 10,000+ square feet of meeting space, an 86-seat restaurant and a rooftop health club, swimming pool and sun terrace.
Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels Executive Vice President Mathew Comfort and Associate Mike Huth led the team on the financing effort. “Due to Stout Street’s adept management, the hotel weathered the recent economic downturn exceptionally well and rebounded nicely in 2010. As the nation’s fourth-largest city, Houston’s downtown lodging market boasts a broad array of stable demand generators that will continue to thrive in the near future,” said Matt Comfort.
The combined efforts of Stout Street Hospitality and the Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels team allowed for financing with loan proceeds that enabled Stout Street to retire both the first mortgage and the second mortgage previously encumbering the hotel. The financing also assisted Stout Street with their concurrent purchase of the remaining ownership interests in the hotel. “This is a very strategic recapitalization for the sponsor and a good fit for the lender,” said Mike Huth.
