JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality group announced today that it arranged construction financing for the 296-key AC Hotel / Element by Westin hotel in Boise, Idaho.
JLL worked on behalf of the borrower to secure the conventional loan through a national bank.
The AC Hotel consists of 175 guest rooms and the Element by Westin has 121 guest rooms. The 15-story hotel is located at W. Grove Street and 10th Street in Downtown Boise and features a rooftop bar and restaurant showcasing the Boise skyline.
“Given the volatile capital markets environment, limited hospitality allocations, and deal size, the JLL team conducted a wide marketing effort of both recourse and non-recourse lenders which resulted in ten quotes. The process brought in a lender that had previously declined and ultimately resulted in pricing inside of the broader market. This proves both the quality of the project and sponsorship and the value of a competitive process with the team,” said a JLL spokesperson.
