Today’s business climate demands a comprehensive approach to initiating, evaluating, closing and subsequently managing investment opportunities. HLT recognizes the complexity of the operating environment and the need to drive results from a transaction:

• Acquisition and disposition strategies
• Due diligence
• Identifying and accessing funding sources
• Management contract negotiation

HLT can lead or advise through the entire development process from conceptualization, feasibility, design, contract negotiation and construction through to opening. We offer:

• Extensive experience with complex projects
• The ability to plan and “optimize” mixed-use project elements
• Familiarity with most brand design standards and contract terms
• Senior-level relationships at major brand and management companies
• Ability to negotiate the business terms of relevant agreements

Sometimes, even with the best intentions and often as the result of uncontrollable factors, hospitality businesses fail, joint-venture partners agree to disagree or situations arise that require legal action or arbitration. In these circumstances, knowledge of industry fundamentals, accepted business practices, valuation methodologies, market trends and transaction history can be extremely useful in delineating a given position.
