FocusPoint Private Capital Group (“FocusPoint”) announced its completion of a private placement for an affiliate of Three Wall Capital, LLC (“Three Wall”) with an investor group on the acquisition of twenty-five Extended Stay America (“ESA”) hotel properties. FocusPoint was an exclusive agent for raising capital for the transaction. Three Wall strategically acquired 25 ESA hotel assets diversified across 9 cities in 4 states (Texas, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky) with a concentration in high growth markets near dense retail corridors, regional hospitals, major universities, and growing residential communities.  TWC entered into a 20-year management/franchise agreement with ESA, the leader in the midscale extended stay market with over 620 hotels and 69,000 rooms across the United States.  

David Conrod, Chief Executive of FocusPoint and its parent LANDC Investment LLC, commented “This compelling investment opportunity was especially attractive for family offices given the strong cash on cash returns and beneficial tax structuring.  We have high confidence in the operations and experience of the Three Wall team and look forward to working with them on additional transactions in the hospitality sector.”

Alan Kanders, founder of Three Wall Capital commented “This opportunistic investment with Extended Stay America allowed us to successfully work with FocusPoint to expand beyond our existing capital relationships and continue to establish strategic long-term partners to invest in hospitality real estate.  We are excited to have new investors alongside the “best in-class” operator in the midscale extended stay segment.”
