FibraHotel announces the acquisition of two hotels with 245 rooms (227 in
operation) in Xalapa, Veracruz, the 119 room Fiesta Inn Xalapa hotel and the 126
room One Xalapa hotel. The hotels will be operated by Grupo Posadas.
Mexico City on March 27th, 2014 --- FibraHotel (BMV: FIHO 12), the first real estate investment
trust specialized in urban business-class hotels in Mexico, announced that today it closed the
acquisition of two hotels in Xalapa, Veracruz, adding a total of 245 rooms (227 in operation).
FibraHotel acquired the 119-room Fiesta Inn Xalapa hotel and the One Xalapa hotel which
currently has 108 rooms and will be expanded by 18 rooms, reaching a total of 126 rooms. Both
hotels will continue to be operated by Grupo Posadas under their existing brands.
The transaction was paid with cash for Ps. $212,917,176.0 (two hundred twelve million nine
hundred seventeen thousand one hundred seventy-six Pesos 00/100). FibraHotel will invest an
additional Ps. $8,000,000.0 (eight million Pesos 00/100) to add 18 rooms to the One Xalapa hotel
and renovate the public areas of the Fiesta Inn hotel during the second half of 2014.
Additionally there is a potential “earn-out” payment if the Fiesta Inn Xalapa surpasses an
EBITDA threshold in 2014. The investment was done at a 10% cap rate.
The Fiesta Inn hotel and One Xalapa are located in a same complex, in Carretera Xalapa –
Veracruz, km 2.5, esquina Boulevard Vista Hermosa, Fraccionamiento Las Animas, 91190,
Xalapa, Veracruz, one of the best locations in the city across from the main hospital in the city,
and very close to the largest shopping center in the city, universities and to government offices.
The city of Xalapa is the capital of the State of Veracruz and the headquarters of the State
Government, so this transaction represents a strategic investment focused both on the current
situation of the location, as in the expected growth in the area by the recently approved energy
reform.
With this acquisition, FibraHotel´s portfolio consists of 50 hotels with 6,883 rooms of which 43
are in operation (6,115 rooms) and 7 in different stages of development.
