From the May issue: Hotel sales accounted for nearly 45 percent of the dollar volume in commercial deals from mid-March to mid-April of this year, despite the completion of just a single deal: the sale of the Helmsley Hotel at 212 East 42nd Street to Starwood Hotels and Resorts, which plans to brand the building a Westin. That deal followed a quiet previous four weeks for hotel deals, when just $43.87 million worth of hotel transactions closed. As usual, multi-family sales were the most frequent in the commercial segment, responsible for 14 of the 30 commercial deals consumated between March 11 and April 10.
