Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels to Launch Exclusive Hotel Auction on $450 Million Water Park Portfolio in February

Ten Midwest and Northeast full-service and limited-service water park hotels to be auctioned individually February 15 -17, 2011. Each property features a new water park component, upwards of 50,000 square feet, which is operated under the CoCo Key Water Resort brand, one of the largest indoor water park franchises in the United States. 

Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels and its partner Auction.com announced the opportunity to acquire a collection of water park hotels either individually or as a portfolio via the firm’s online auction website. The hotel-only auction will be conducted from February 15 to 17, 2011. This is the second Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels exclusive hotel auction, which follows an extremely successful November auction event that cleared more than $300 million of hotels for various financial institutions.

The February auction portfolio consists of 10 full-service and limited-service water park hotels collateralized by assets that are strategically situated throughout key markets in the Midwest and Northeast. The hotels are affiliated with InterContinental Hotel Group, Marriott, Best Western or operated independently of a national franchise. Total replacement cost on this portfolio is estimated to be well north of $450 million. Starting bids range from $500,000 to $5 million per property.

“Given the recent improvement in hotel fundamentals, investor interest in the product type is extraordinarily high. The timing and size of this unique offering matches the current momentum in the market and investor dynamics well,” said Mark Fair, Managing Director, Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels.
