Moody National REIT II Acquires Residence Inn Austin University
(Houston, TX, October 22, 2015) – Moody National REIT II, Inc. (“REIT II”), announced on October 15, 2015 that it has acquired the Marriott Residence Inn Austin-University Area hotel (the “Residence Inn Austin”) for $25.5 million, excluding closing costs.
The recently developed Residence Inn Austin is a select-service hotel comprised of 112 guest rooms. Prominently located off I-35 and 51st Street, the hotel opened on January 14, 2014, and benefits from its close proximity to the University of Texas campus, Dell Children’s Hospital, Seton Medical corporate headquarters and the Texas State Capitol.
“We are pleased to announce the acquisition of the Residence Inn Austin. This acquisition demonstrates all the characteristics of our acquisition model: it is a newly constructed, class-A asset located in a major metropolitan market, near the University of Texas, and 3 blocks from the Dell Children’s Hospital. The Residence Inn Austin appraised $2 million above the purchase price,” commented Brett Moody, CEO and Chairman of REIT II.
According to Forbes magazine, Austin has been ranked as one of the nation’s fastest growing cities in both 2014 and 2015 respectively. In addition to serving as a hub of technology and education, Austin is also famous for its natural beauty, live music, and cultural creativity. Therefore, the hotel is positioned to capitalize on demand from both business and leisure travelers.
