Jones Lang LaSalle Expands Select Service Division in Northeast
FEBRUARY 27, 2007. Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels announced the expansion of its select service division with the promotion of Mark H. von Dwingelo to regional senior vice president - Northeast. Mr. von Dwingelo will relocate to New York where he will be responsible for overseeing the select service division's Northeast practice focusing on hotel capital advisory services and the disposition of hotel assets.
Mr. von Dwingelo's new role enhances the firm's commitment to strengthen its growing mid-scale hotel sector and comes on the heels of the firm's expansion in the Midwest, south-central, and west coast U.S. According to the recently published U. S. Select Service Hotel Investor Survey, both the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions ranked in the top five of hotel buyers' regional preferences. The survey also indicated that more than 52% of the respondents would be actively buying and/or selling during the next six months. Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels launched its foray into the select service market with its acquisition of Atlanta-based ThompsonCalhounFair in June 2005 and has immediate plans to further expand the business into major markets including Miami.
"I look forward to working with the numerous hotel investors in the Northeast to assist them in achieving their disposition and strategic goals," said von Dwingelo.
Prior to his promotion, Mr. von Dwingelo worked in the Atlanta office of Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels. Mr. von Dwingelo brings a wealth of industry experience to his new position, having held leadership positions with national hospitality advisory/consulting firms including Horwath Landauer, KPMG, Laventhol & Horwath and PKF Consulting.
