  • Barry Sternlicht, Starwood Capital Group
    FIRM OF THE YEAR, NORTH AMERICA Starwood Capital Group Starwood’s 2015 performance is measured in billions. The Greenwich, Connecticut- based firm made headlines across property types with its first foray into student housing and the launch of two hotel brands. But it was the billion-dollar transactions that catapulted the firm to the top of the list. Starwood bet big on multifamily though the $5.4 billion October purchase of 23,262 apartment units in 72 areas from Sam Zell’s Equity Residential. The same month, Starwood also agreed to purchase Landmark Apartment Trust, a multifamily real estate investment trust, for $1.9 billion. That acquisition added another 19,615 apartment to the firm’s portfolio, bringing the year- end total number of units in Starwood’s portfolio to 90,000. Starwood has also deployed large sums outside multifamily. In an off-market transaction, the firm bought a 62-building suburban office portfolio in areas stretching from Raleigh, North Carolina, to St Louis, Missouri, for more than $1.1 billion. None of these transactions would be possible, of course, without a sizable war chest. The firm raked in $5.6 billion for Starwood Global Opportunity Fund X in under a year, its largest and fastest fundraise. Look for more headline deals with the remaining dry powder in 2016. INDUSTRY FIGURE OF THE YEAR Barry Sternlicht, Starwood Capital Group For Barry Sternlicht, chairman and chief executive of Starwood Capital, $2 billion was on the low end of the scale in 2015 – whether it be acquisitions, privatizations, exits or fundraises. Last October, the Greenwich, Connecticut-based firm announced a pair of giant multifamily deals, first the $5.4 billion acquisition of 23,000 apartments from Equity Residential, then the take-private transaction of Landmark Apartment Trust for $1.9 billion, in partnership with Milestone Apartments.

  • HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide Excerpt 2017
    2017 EDITION | Price US$800 EXCERPT THE ANNUAL HVS ASIA-PACIFIC HOTEL OPERATOR GUIDE (AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2016) Pawinee Chaisiriroj Senior Analyst Daniel J Voellm Managing Partner HVS.com HVS | Level 21, The Centre, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong The HVS Asia-Pacific Hotel Operator Guide 2017 Foreword It is with great pleasure that I share with you our fourth annual Asia-Pacific Operator Guide, data as of 31 December 2016. This fourth edition will continue to serve owners as a reference for which operator has a strong presence in their home market and in potential future markets further ashore as well as key feeder markets across the region. As more brands are created and/or introduced to the region, owners need to navigate a more complex environment. At the same time, M&A activities have created larger companies with a very large portfolio of brands. At the same time, we see operators building pipelines with limited-service brands that are easier to scale. Which operator to choose? Branding, anchored by the management expertise and distribution power that operators bring to a hotel property, is becoming more and more critical. In the face of increasing competition, non-branded properties often perform at a discount to their branded peers due to lack of awareness and quality assurance. Running a hotel is no easy task and owners have a tendency to view operators’ fees as unjustified for the value they deliver. It is essential that owner and operator align their interest from very early in the process and work towards a common goal, rather than start their long-term relationship from conflicting standpoints.

  • Broadway Theater Map
    Broadway Theater Map Times Square & Broadway Restaurants (not mapped – easy to find) • Restaurant Row (46th St, 8th/9th Aves) - home to 30 restaurants on one block, some a bit touristy, but all geared for the Broadway theatre crowd, serving prix- fixe specials and well-aware you have an 8pm show to get to. Recommended: Sushi of Gari 46, Becco & Barbetta (authentic Italian, 100+ years old). • Saki Bar Hagi 46 (358 W 46th St) - Japanese eatery & sake bar offering yakitori, noodles, sushi and much more. Open very late. I love this place! • Becco (355 W 46th, 8th Ave) - Italian, prix-fixe menus, all you can eat pasta and owned by Lidia Bastianich, a local favorite chef. • Carmine's (200 W 44th @ 7th Ave) - family-style Italian and their second restaurant (original on the Upper West Side). Widely popular with the theater crowd, tourists and a great family-friendly stop in Times Square. • Junior's - They have everything (burger, deli, breakfast, dessert), but are likely the most famous NY Cheesecake in the world. 2 locations in Times Square - 45th & 49th. • Sardi’s (234 W 44th, 7th & 8th) - an iconic Broadway institution for years, great for pre- and post- theater meals, a local Broadway star hangout. The menu is kind of random. Maybe upscale continental? Open on Thanksgiving. • Joe Allen - similar to Sardi's in that it is a popular Broadway hangout (stars, producers), but a casual tavern. Orso is their Italian sister restaurant. • Meske (Meskerem) (468 W 47th, 10th Ave) - Ethiopian, inexpensive & interesting. If you've never eaten using spongy bread to pick up your food (no utensils), it's fun and a must-try.
