JRK Property Holdings Acquires Hyatt-Branded Hotel Portfolio in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Hyatt House San Juan, Puerto Rico

Hyatt House San Juan, Puerto Rico

LOS ANGELESJan. 11, 2024PRLog — JRK Property Holdings, through its $350 million hospitality fund, has acquired a two-property, 275-key Hyatt-branded hotel portfolio in San Juan, Puerto Rico from the PRISA Group for an undisclosed price.

The portfolio comprises two premium select-service hotels located within the Puerto Rico Convention District: the 149-room Hyatt Place San Juan and 126-room Hyatt House San Juan.  Developed by the seller within the past eight years, both properties have been recently renovated including lobby refresh, updated F&B outlets, and guestroom and corridor improvements.   Both properties were designed to meet the demands of San Juan’s vibrant leisure, corporate, and tourism business with resort style pools, fitness centers and meeting and event space.

The hotels benefit from numerous demand drivers including their proximity (one block) from the 600,000-square-foot Puerto Rico Convention Center, the largest and most technologically advanced conference facility in the Caribbean; and the Distrito T-Mobile, a 476,000-square-foot entertainment, dining and performance venue, which attracted 3 million visitors in 2022.

JRK’s Hospitality Fund focuses on full- and select-service hotels for opportunistic and value-add investments across the nation. The fund targets transactions of more than $25 million and up to $1+ billion for portfolios, which would be made through its fully discretionary fund comprised of high-net worth individuals, or through joint ventures with strategic partners.

This is the first investment outside the continental United States for JRK, which hopes to build its hotel portfolio in Puerto Rico, according to Head of Hotel Investments Shaan Bhatia.

“San Juan is one of the strongest RevPar markets in the United States, with consistently strong occupancy and a healthy growth trajectory,” said Bhatia.   “The expected rate cuts by the Fed in 2024 should stimulate discretionary spending, which would only serve to improve Puerto Rico’s already resilient hospitality fundamentals.”

“The Puerto Rico hotels deliver tremendous going-in cash flow to our investors on new institutional quality construction while offering several levers for additional value creation,” added JRK President Daniel Lippman.  “We’re thrilled with the continued expansion of our national hotel portfolio and look forward to finding similarly compelling opportunities in 2024.”

San Juan trails only New York City and the island of Oahu  in average occupancy commanding a 74.7% average occupancyrate  since 1994, according to JLL’s Hotels and Hospitality Group which marketed the portfolio on behalf of the seller.

Members of the JLL team included Andrew Dickey, Maciej Polek and Mark Fisher.

McLean Business starts 2024 with new leadership promotion

KSR Pet Care continues with progressive staff investment plan.

MCLEAN, Va.Jan. 10, 2024PRLog — McLean based dog walking/pet sitting business KSR Pet Care, which reached a milestone birthday in 2023, has started 2024 with a new leadership promotion. Christy Kline who has been with KSR Pet Care for 9 years was promoted to Vice-President. This newest development is one more step in a series of sizable staff investments, which KSR Pet Care started years ago.

The secrets to KSR Pet Care’s success have been considered unworkable by many of their peers, but KSR Pet Care has continued to move forward, even during the pandemic. “As a business we chose to make a sizable investment in different phases. The most progressive one was in our health benefits (medical, vision, dental) which we offer not only to our full-time but also our part time employees and their dependents.” says Karen Rosenberg, Owner/President of KSR Pet Care. “After 7 years, I can say it has been worth the investment. We did not interrupt those plans during the pandemic: Although our market was dead, we chose the only viable option, the government loans, which have since been forgiven.”

Usually, a pet care business of KSR Pet Care’s size employs one, maximum two office staff members. Again, KSR Pet Care took a different approach. About 10 years ago, more field as well as office staff were hired. Office manager Julie Lessner who has been with the business 8 years, clarifies: “We currently are a 30+ employee business including three managers and office assistant to offer detail-oriented customer service as well as support to our team in the field. We strive to take care of both as the stakes in a pet care service business are high.”

The business is not new to pioneering. In 2015 another exceptional measure was taken. Vice-President Christy Kline remembers: “In the course of 2015-2018, we employed three aspiring dog trainers at KSR Pet Care who needed help establishing themselves as certified dog trainers and/or were still completing their certification. We therefore decided to start a dog training school at KSR Pet Care offering dog training to complement our other services. It was a win-win although we knew it would not last. The training school  ran its course from 2016 to 2018 until all three dog trainers left the nest and started their own dog training businesses. The relationships we wielded, the coaching and referrals we offered are gems for life.”

KSR Pet Care’s investments were always calculated and still with risk as the cost of living in KSR Pet Care’s service area (McLean, Vienna, Falls Church, North-Arlington) is high and more staff members have been forced over the years to move further away, while travel expenses remain high. It seems though that 40% of their staff today still weighs off in favor of staying employed at KSR Pet Care because of the care the office support team provides and the extralegal benefits. Turnover is medium-low and total employee count is to date the highest since its founding in 2008.

“Having a small business in Northern Virginia is both a dream come true as well as an honor,” concludes Karen Rosenberg. “Having survived the pandemic, which brought our industry’s market to a stand-still, we feel confident again and hope to continue offering dog walking and pet sitting for many years to come. But not alone, never alone. Investing in people on all levels is key, even if that means taking calculated risks.”

Southeast Insurance Celebrates 20 Years of Service and a New Beginning in Daytona Beach

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.Jan. 9, 2024PRLog — Southeast Insurance is pleased to announce that the company is celebrating its 20th anniversary along with a significant milestone – the relocation of its office in Daytona Beach, Florida. The company, founded by Brian Nelson in 2003, provides exceptional insurance solutions in home, auto, renters, flood, and condo insurance.

The new office, located at 104 LaCosta Lane, Unit 140, Daytona Beach, FL, marks a new chapter in the company’s history. This move, just 3.88 miles from the original office, is driven by Volusia County’s acquisition of the previous property for future developmental plans. Despite the sentimental value attached to the former 3,600 sq ft building, constructed by Brian’s grandfather, a former State Farm District Manager, and later occupied by his father Dean Nelson’s law practice since 1971, the company embraces this change with optimism.

“Our family has deep roots in this community, starting from when my grandfather built the original building in 1956,” said Brian Nelson, Founder of Southeast Insurance. “While we cherish those memories, we are excited about the opportunities that our new location brings. It’s more than just an office; it’s a commitment to our clients and the community.”

The new 1,600 sq ft office space, located near several new subdivisions and the Tanger Outlets, provides greater accessibility and growth potential. The move also symbolizes a significant evolution from the old office, where the company occupied 1,400 sq ft of working space.

“We’ve had 60 years’ worth of memories in our old building, but it’s time for growth and expansion,” added Brian Nelson. “The proceeds from the sale have allowed us to invest in a space that better suits our needs and those of our clients.”

The new office, conveniently situated off Williamson Blvd., boasts a central location, offering easier access for clients across Daytona Beach. The team of three full-time and one part-time staff are excited to welcome clients to their new location, where they continue to offer personalized service from Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.

As Southeast Insurance embarks on this new journey, the company remains dedicated to its core values of trust, reliability, and excellence in service – principles that have guided it for two decades.

Southeast Insurance employs four staff members and specializes in homeowners, auto, condo, flood, umbrella, rental, boat and motorcycle policies. They have built a trust with thousands of policy-holders since 2003.

Southeast Insurance Agency, Inc. is an independent agency that has been serving the Volusia and Flagler market and beyond since 2003. They have relationships with dozens of insurance companies, allowing them to customize an insurance policy for each customer. The company’s new office is located at 104 LaCosta Lane, Unit 140, Daytona Beach. They can be reached by calling 386-258-9998, or online at http://southeastins.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/SoutheastInsuranceAgency.
