HFF Announces Sale and Financing of the Westin Tysons Corner in Falls Church, Virginia

USA, New York, New York. March 13, 2018

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announces the sale and acquisition financing of The Westin Tysons Corner, a 407-room, recently renovated, premium-branded, full-service hotel in Tysons Corner, the “Downtown” of Fairfax County, Virginia. 

The HFF team marketed the property on behalf of the seller, a leading special servicer, and Driftwood Acquisitions & Development, LP (DAD) purchased the property.   Additionally, the HFF team arranged the competitive 10-year, fixed-rate acquisition financing.

The Westin Tysons Corner is located at 7801 Leesburg Pike within the Tysons Corner office submarket, the largest office market in Virginia and the 13th largest CBD in the U.S.  The hotel is in a transit-oriented location at the confluence of some of Northern Virginia's most significant arterials, Interstate 495 (Capital Beltway), Route 7 (Leesburg Pike), Route 123 (Chain Bridge Road) and Interstate 66, and proximate to the largest airport in the Washington, D.C. area, Dulles International Airport.  Originally constructed as a Ramada in 1972, the property was converted into a Westin in 2005 and has undergone nearly $9 million in capital expenditures since 2011.  The hotel features more than 12,000 square feet of meeting and event space, a 24-hour fitness studio, indoor pool and whirlpool and four food and beverage options, Sushi Nami, Blu Bar & Lounge, the Chop N' Room and Starbucks Cafe.

The HFF advisory and debt placement teams representing the seller included executive managing director and co-head of HFF's debt placement and loan sales platform Gerard Sansosti, senior managing director and head of HFF's hotel group Daniel C. Peek, managing director Brock Cannon and senior directors Cyrus Vazifdar and KC Patel.

“The Washington, D.C. MSA continues to be highly sought after by institutional hotel investors, and Tysons Corner is one of the market's best stories,” Vazifdar said.  “We anticipate continued growth throughout the region and strong fundamentals in the hotel space over the coming years.”
