Acquisition and Development Services

Recent economic challenges have highlighted the need for solid due diligence in underwriting acquisitions and new development. Events have shown that even for so-called "distressed" hotel assets, without objective, independent assessment the risks of hotel investment or lending are the highest in decades. Virtually all parties involved in a hotel transaction or development have a vested interest in the deal. While brokers, in-house development teams, franchisors and management companies all have talent and expertise, by their very roles they lack objectivity and independence in underwriting. Today's lodging investors don't need market studies to paper a file; they need candid, cool-headed objectivity about a deal, and a strategy for increasing a newly-owned hotel's value. Berins & Co. has built a reputation as a firm which can quickly and effectively assess a hotel's prospects, and which is not afraid to deliver the news if a deal appears unlikely to succeed. Our independence and candor are the hallmarks of our work and have been for many years.
