Sonnenblick-Eichner Co. Advises on $35 Million Refinancing of New Oakland, CA Hotel

USA, Beverly Hills, California. June 15, 2022

Sonnenblick-Eichner Company announced today that it was the exclusive advisor to the Borrower for the placement of $35 million of first mortgage interim financing for the leasehold interest in the Moxy Oakland Downtown, a 172-room hotel located in the Uptown Arts and Entertainment District of Oakland, California. The financing was provided by ACORE Capital.

The hotel opened in March of 2021. Proceeds from this non-recourse financing were used to retire the construction loan and provide fresh capital to advance the hotel towards stabilization. The property was developed by Tidewater Capital and Graves Hospitality and is managed by Graves Hospitality. Graves and Tidewater own the property in partnership with EJF Capital.Amenities at the hotel include a lobby bar, lounge, an outdoor terrace, a full-service restaurant and a state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center.

The property is located in Oakland's Arts and Entertainment District, which has emerged as a vibrant center of creativity, fashion and nightlife and offers a growing number of local and international design shops, fashion boutiques, restaurants, cafés and hotels. Moxy Hotels (www.MoxyHotels.com) is Marriott International's millennial-focused, lifestyle brand.

Elliot Eichner, a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, commented,"Despite the hotel's limited operating history, we were able to attract institutional capital to refinance the hotel."

Patrick Brown, also a Principal of Sonnenblick-Eichner Company, added: "We have been successful in financing numerous hotels coming off of construction loans and we were pleased to see that this loan was also competitively bid."

Guest Service: Exceeding Expectations


When guests check into a hotel, they have expectations of quality customer service. They expect to have their needs met in a professional manner, they desire a certain level of comfort, and possibly even made to feel a little special. This is important because satisfied guests are more likely to return and to become true brand ambassadors. But what if instead of merely meeting expectations, hotels created a culture of service that was intent on exceeding expectations in every conceivable way? What if frontline staff were trained and empowered to provide guest services that demonstrate a willingness to always go the extra mile in order to please their guests? This culture is exactly what some hotels are creating in their operations. From helpful, smiling, welcoming staff to the quality of  a room's comfort and conveniences. From discovering a guest's special needs and enthusiastically fulfilling them, to making some amenities free of charge and offering random upgrades. The April issue of the Hotel Business Review will explore what some hotels are doing to enhance and enrich their guest services.
