“It is an honor to be recognized by Marriott International,” said Caroline Perel, Managing Director of Civitas Capital Group. “This award is a confirmation of the hard work everyone on the Civitas team does every day to build deep and lasting relationships with our global clients from more than 30 countries and with our industry partners. We have valued our relationship with Marriott during the past years and look forward to a long and fruitful affiliation.”
Civitas partnered with Atlantic Hotels Group to develop the dual-branded Aloft and Element Dallas Love Field hotel that opened in February 2017. “We employed a strategy that captures two market segments, transient and extended stay travelers, and streamlines cost with no compromise to quality or amenities,” said Perel. “The project also has a creative financing structure, combining capital from a U.S. insurance company, a Chinese financial institution, City of Dallas (in the form of tax increment financing), and key money from Marriott.” The dual-branded hotel won the 2016 Dallas Business Journal's Best Real Estate Deals award in the Most Creative Financing category.
Civitas and Atlantic Hotels Group are also co-developing several other Marriott hotels - a dual-branded AC / Residence Inn near the Dallas Galleria, a Residence Inn west of downtown Dallas, and a SpringHill Suites in McKinney, Texas.
Other Civitas Capital Group developed Marriott hotels include five Fairfield Inn & Suites hotels in the Eagle Ford Shale and Permian Basin regions of Texas.
Marriott presented the Developer of the Year Award to Civitas Capital during the 2017 CONNECT Conference in Los Angeles, a gathering of more than 1,300 Marriott hotel owners.
