USAA Offers for Sale 2 Suburban Chicago Hotels
font size Print Email
Commercial Real Estate Direct Staff Report
USAA Real Estate Co. is in the market to sell two suburban Chicago hotels with 635 rooms that are expected to fetch more than $70 million.
Savills Studley has the listing for the upper-upscale properties: the Renaissance Chicago North Shore Hotel, with 385 rooms in Northbrook, Ill., and the 250-room DoubleTree Suites by Hilton & Conference Center in Downers Grove, Ill.
The Renaissance, at 933 Skokie Blvd. near the campus of Northwestern University, includes two restaurants, nearly 19,000 square feet of meeting space, an indoor swimming pool and whirlpool, fitness center and business center. The Doubletree, at 2111 Butterfield Road near access to Interstate 355, has two restaurants, an indoor pool and business center.
USSA, a San Antonio investment manager, could be looking to cash in on a hot Chicago-area hotel market. The region recorded $614 million in investments sales during the first half, up 49 percent from a year earlier, according to Real Capital Analytics.
The investment manager is believed to be invested in the Downers Grove property on behalf of an investment fund that's approaching its liquidation phase. It had acquired that hotel in 2011 for an undisclosed price.
It bought the Northbrook hotel in 2005 and two years later sold a 70 percent stake in it and seven other hotels to Ecclestone Organization. In 2010, Ecclestone, a West Palm Beach, Fla., developer, sold its stake in the properties back to USAA.
