  • Hood River Waterfront Hotel 5.28.2021 Bhakta Capital + Surround Architecture
    HOOD RIVER WATERFRONT HOTEL 5.28.2021 BHAKTA CAPITAL + SURROUND ARCHITECTURE May 28, 2021 Michael McElwee, Executive Director, Port of Hood River 1000 E. Port Marina Drive, Hood River, OR 97031 RE: Request for Developer Interest, Lot 900. Bhakta Capital (“BC”) is pleased to be re-engaged in the Request for Interest from the Port of Hood River (“PHR”) for the Barman Site located on an approximately 0.86-acre piece of property at 151 N 2nd St, Hood River, OR 97031. Internally, we call the site, “Gateway Site” to Hood River, given its strategic location between downtown and the waterfront, making it a truly walkable central node to explore. As a refresher, and point of introduction, BC initially put forth a proposal and presented it to PHR to develop a Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott back in June 2019. Almost two years later, and getting back to recovery post-COVID, we are picking up where we left off. Taking all our learnings from the past two years and implementing them into our revised bid. BC probably has the longest standing interest in this project that started back in 2019 and we never took our eye off the prize -- always evolving and making the proposed project even better. BC’s partners bring over 60 combined years of hospitality operations and real estate experience, having been involved in over $3 billion of hotel transactions globally, along with 20 combined years of technology and data science experience at Stanford University, Amazon.com, and extensive involvement with Silicon Valley startups leveraging AI and machine learning.
