EXPANSION NOTES
Working on 6 more Microtels, a Residence Inn and a Courtyard by Marriott.
InnVest REIT sold 11 hotels and bought 2 hotels over the last year.
Opening Canalta Kindersley in the fall of 2015.
Sunray has bought 6 properties and sold 1 in the last year. They are working on 4
more, all new builds.
Easton's has picked up the Holiday Inn Toronto Airport, the Westin Bristol Place and
the Courtyard by Marriott Markham in the last year.
Three big events shaped the Canadian hotel industry this year. The first was the takeover of Delta by Marriott, the second was acquisition of license rights for
Travelodge by Superior Lodging Corporation and Waramaug Hospitality Canada and the third was the sale of all of its hotel properties by Fortis Properties
Corporation.
Marriott increased its Canadian portfolio by half in January when it signed agreements to acquire the Delta Hotels and Resorts brand and management and
franchise business from Delta Hotels Limited Partnership, a subsidiary of British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (bcIMC) for C$168. At the
time, the Delta brand included a diverse range of hotels and resorts with 38 properties and 10,000 rooms in more than 30 cities across Canada. The transaction
increased Marriott’s distribution in Canada to more than 120 hotels and 27,000 rooms.
In April, Superior and Waramaug acquired master license rights for Travelodge Canada from Halifax-based Holloway Lodging Corp. The new company,
headed by Superior Lodging Corp. CEO Marc Staniloff, was called Superior Lodging Development TL Corporation. Michael Rapps, chairman of Holloway,
became a member of the new company’s board of directors. This made the combined portfolio for both brands 221 hotels. Wyndham Hotel Group, which has
over 7,600 hotels in 70 countries worldwide, granted the rights for both deals.
In July, Fortis Inc. announced that it has signed a deal to sell the hotel assets of subsidiary Fortis Properties Corp. to a private investor group for $365 million
as the company moves to focus on its core utilities business. The transaction, involving 22 hotels in seven Canadian provinces, is expected to close in the fall.
The private investor group was not identified in a Fortis release.
