Paramount and Hardisty Baxter Form Distressed Hospitality Services Group
AUGUST 28, 2009 - Paramount Lodging Advisors and Tishman Realty & Construction Alums Michael Hardisty and Philip Baxter, who earlier this year formed Hardisty Baxter, are teaming up to open a new office of Paramount Lodging Advisors in Southern California.
With Hardisty Baxter, whose partners' collective experience includes over $1 billion in successful REO workouts of complex hotel and resort assets for institutional owners, PARAMOUNTTM adds real depth in large complicated hospitality solutions to its already broad range of services. Together they offer the comprehensive real estate services necessary for owners, lenders, and special servicers to get control of and make sense of distressed hospitality assets.
The current circumstances are like the early 90's, only worse. The expert support that buyers, sellers, owners, and lenders need to sort through the many variables to recover and harvest value, find the right opportunities, and create and execute the optimal strategic plan is now under one umbrella with PARAMOUNTTM.
