Concord Hospitality Signs Three New Management Contracts
Company Continues to Grow 3rd Party Management Portfolio
RALEIGH-DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 8 - Concord Hospitality Enterprises, one of the nation’s top-ranked hotel developer/owner/operators, today announced that it has signed contracts to manage the Courtyard by Marriott Lynchburg, in Va.; Courtyard by Marriott Princeton, in N.J.; and Courtyard by Marriott Charlotte, in N.C. The three properties represent the latest round of additions to Concord Hospitality Enterprises’ growing 3rd party management portfolio. Concord currently owns and/or operates more than 70 hotels, offering more than 9,000 rooms, with several hotels under development.
“The recovering economy has encouraged us to actively seek out institutional partners with upscale select service hotels who want to rebound quickly,” said Mark G. Laport, president and CEO of Concord. “We have had more significant company growth in the last 24-month period than in our 24-year history. Our focus in this phase of the cycle will be to continue growing our 3rd party management portfolio, supported by development. Our current portfolio mix is split about evenly between third-party management and owned hotels.
“All three of these properties will undergo some capital enhancement renovation projects, including the latest Marriott innovations, such as the new Refreshing Business lobby, to keep the properties fresh and highly competitive,” Laport added.
