Insights

The agreement between Caliber and Satori Collective marks a significant expansion for Caliber Hospitality Trust (CHT). This deal will increase CHT's portfolio from 15 to 22 hotels, boosting its AUM from $234 million to $530 million - a substantial 126% increase. Caliber's asset management revenue is projected to grow by $2.4 million, representing a 42% increase in its run rate.

The $120 million portfolio from Satori includes diverse properties across strategic locations, which should enhance CHT's market presence and potential for revenue growth. The tax-efficient structure of the deal, allowing Satori to receive OP Units, is attractive for both parties and could serve as a model for future acquisitions.

Investors should note the projected closing date in early 2025, which indicates a long-term growth strategy. This expansion aligns with Caliber's goal of scaling up and accessing permanent capital, potentially positioning the company for stronger financial performance and increased market share in the hospitality sector.

This transaction represents a strategic move in the hospitality real estate sector. By acquiring Satori's portfolio, Caliber is diversifying its holdings across different hotel types (full service, select service and extended stay) and expanding its geographical footprint. This diversification can help mitigate market-specific risks and capitalize on various growth drivers in different regions.

The partnership with Aperture Hotels for property management is noteworthy. Their claim of delivering above-average gross operating profit margins could translate to improved financial performance for the acquired properties. However, investors should monitor the integration process and actual performance post-acquisition.

The deal structure, offering cash or OP Units, provides flexibility for contributors and aligns interests for long-term value creation. This model could attract more hotel owners looking for liquidity or growth capital without an outright sale, potentially fueling further expansion for Caliber. The company's active discussions with other potential contributors suggest a pipeline for future growth, which could positively impact Caliber's market position and financial outlook.

  • Satori assets will increase Caliber’s FV AUM by 15.52% to $890 million
  • Upon closing of all contributed properties to date, the Trust’s portfolio will expand to 22 hotels, and the portfolio valuation will increase to $530 million

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Caliber (NASDAQ: CWD), a real estate investor, developer, and manager, today announced that it has reached a definitive agreement with Satori Collective (“Satori”) in which Satori will contribute seven hotel properties to Caliber subsidiary Caliber Hospitality Trust (“CHT”), an externally advised private hospitality corporation. The transaction is expected to close in early 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.

Atlanta-based Satori Collective, formerly known as Banyan Investment Group and founded in 2013, is an investment management firm focused primarily on hotel property investment. The seven Satori properties in this agreement include a mix of middle-market full service, select service and extended stay hotels in the Midwestern and Southern U.S., representing Marriott, Hilton and IHG hospitality brands. The combined portfolio value is approximately $120 million.

With the Satori portfolio, CHT currently has 15 properties in the closing process. Upon closing those contributions, CHT will have 22 hotels in ownership and have expanded its assets under management (“AUM”) from $234 million today to $530 million. In addition, with all 22 properties in CHT, Caliber’s asset management revenue run rate will increase by approximately $2.4 million, or 42%, given the value of the portfolios contributed and the terms of the contribution and management agreements.

“This contribution significantly enhances our hospitality portfolio, providing us with a diverse set of properties in strategic locations,” said Caliber CEO Chris Loeffler. “By integrating Satori’s assets into CHT, we are not only expanding our national footprint but also reinforcing our commitment to deliver superior value to our investors. This partnership exemplifies our strategy of adding value to income-producing assets to accelerate growth and create sustainable, long-term returns.”

Andy Chopra, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Satori Collective, said, “We are honored to partner with Caliber. The quality of our portfolio and our capabilities as an investment manager align perfectly with Caliber’s vision. This partnership will allow us to continue growing and optimizing our operations nationwide.”

These hotels will continue to be operated by Aperture Hotels, an emerging leader in the hotel management industry. The company operates properties with the world’s largest hotel brands following a value-based approach to management that delivers an outperforming gross operating profit margin on a portfolio-wide basis.

Satori’s contribution will further expand Caliber’s multi-state footprint into markets with unique growth drivers, including their proximity to university campuses, sports complexes, manufacturing facilities, and local airports. The locations are Madison, Wis., Peoria, Ill., Houston, Texas, Columbus, Ga., and Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Loeffler continued, “Many hotel owners across the U.S. are seeking alternatives to traditional asset sales to gain liquidity, manage debt, fund property improvements, or secure well-priced capital for growth. These owners, seasoned professionals with deep commitments to their businesses, recognize the advantages of scaling up and accessing permanent capital. The Caliber Hospitality Trust offers these benefits, and we will continue to seek aligned hotel owners for future contributions.”

Under the terms of the contribution agreement, Satori will receive cash and/or operating partnership units (“OP Units”) in exchange for the contribution of its seven hotels. Caliber is in active discussions with other potential third-party contributors to CHT and expects to make additional announcements in the months ahead. Founding contributors to CHT have the opportunity to receive operating capital and an immediate ownership stake in the company through a tax-free exchange for OP Units. Interested parties should reach out to Invest@CaliberCo.com for additional information about contributing hotels to the CHT strategy or investing in the opportunity. Investment in Caliber's private funds, including CHT, is available to accredited investors only.
