Marcus & Millichap Closes Sale of Suburban Chicago Lodging Portfolio

Marcus & Millichap brokered the $19.2-million sale of a three-hotel portfolio in Chicago’s western suburbs comprising 262 keys. The properties included a Comfort Suites and Country Inn and Suites in Elgin, IL and a Holiday Inn Express in neighboring Algonquin, IL

First VP Ebrahim Valliani, who leads Marcus & Millichap’s Midwest Hospitality Team in conjunction with the firm’s national Miller-Gomes Hotel Team, and senior associate Michael Klar represented the seller, a Chicago-based investment group.

They also procured two separate buyers: a Wisconsin-based investment group entering the Chicago-area market with its purchase of the Comfort Suites and Holiday Inn Express, and a local investor who bought the Country Inn and Suites in a 1031 exchange.

“Hospitality as a whole has rebounded nicely across the Chicagoland area, and investors are showing a strong interest in reputable hotel brands in the suburban market,” said Valliani.
