Miami, FL – April 1, 2015 – (RealEstateRama) — CBRE Hotels has arranged the sale of the 259-room Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel at Miami International Airport. The property, located at 7707 NW 103rd Street in Hialeah Gardens and set on more than four acres of land adjacent to the Palmetto Expressway, one of South Florida’s most highly traveled thoroughfares, was acquired by LCP Hialeah Gardens Hospitality, LLC for an undisclosed price. CBRE Hotels represented the seller, GW Hialeah Hotel, LLC. The property was offered unencumbered by both brand and management.
“This was a very competitive sale process during which we uncovered exceptionally strong interest for this asset, with investors recognizing the exceptional location and the strength of the local lodging market,” said CBRE Hotels’ Paul Weimer.
The largest structure in the area, the 10-story Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel boasts a parking deck and easy access to both Miami International Airport and Interstate 75.
