Executive Summary Subject of the The subject of the market study is a 958,320-square-foot (22.00-acre) parcel to be Market Study partially improved with a lodging facility. Based on our evaluation of the southern Kansas City lodging market, as well as our interviews with major demand generators in the area, we would recommend potential development of a midscale, economy-oriented, extended-stay hotel for the subject site. While the land area is capable of accommodating a larger select- or full-service hotel, given the required amenities and facilities, as well as the price sensitivity of travelers in the area, the cost difference could not be justified. It is our recommendation that the hotel be branded as either a TownePlace Suites by Marriott or Home2 Suites by Hilton. These brands belong to two of the strongest parent companies with major rewards programs, particularly for corporate travelers, who make up more than 50% of the room nights in the competitive market area. Given the differences in franchise costs, for the purpose of our analysis, we have assumed that the hotel would be branded as a TownePlace Suites by Marriott throughout our projections. The property, which is expected to open on April 1, 2017, is positioned as an 80 room hotel, inclusive of a breakfast dining area, an indoor pool and whirlpool, a fitness room, a business center, a market pantry, and a guest laundry room. The hotel will also contain all necessary back-of-the-house space. The proposed hotel will be part of a greater 22-acre site at East 63rd Street and Prospect Avenue. While no additional development at the site is currently confirmed, city officials have expressed interest in future mixed-use office, multi- family, and restaurant uses. In the early 2000s, a multimillion-dollar shopping center with restaurants, a grocery store, and a housing development was planned by a previous developer; however, after the developer failed to control asbestos contamination following the demolition of older homes on several of the parcels, the project collapsed because of environmental and financial conflicts. The City of Kansas City later acquired the site, controlling it through a 99-year lease with the Tax Increment Financing Commission of Kansas City. According to city officials, in 2014, the site was cleaned, and all asbestos contamination was removed. The subject site’s location is 63rd Street & Prospect Avenue, Kansas City, Missouri, 64130. Pertinent Dates The effective date of the report is January 12, 2016. The subject site was inspected by Sara E. Olson on November 19, 2015. Tanya J. Pierson, MAI participated in the analysis and reviewed the findings, but did not personally inspect the property. January-2016 Executive Summary Proposed Hotel @ 63rd and Prospect Avenue – Kansas City, Missouri 1 Ownership, Franchise, The developer of the proposed subject hotel is Sunflower Development Group, and Management which is based in Kansas City, Missouri. The subject site is part of a larger 22-acre Assumptions set of parcels owned by the Tax Increment Financing Commission of Kansas City. The developing entity is expected to lease a smaller portion of the site for a nominal payment of $1 for a period of 99 years. The subject site has reportedly not been sold in several years and is neither listed for sale nor under contract. Details pertaining to management terms were not yet determined at the time of this report; however, we assume that the proposed hotel will be managed by a professional hotel-operating company, with fees deducted at rates consistent with current market standards. We have assumed a market-appropriate total management fee of 3.0% of total revenues in our study. We recommend that the proposed subject hotel operate as a midscale, extended- stay, limited-service property. While we have placed heavy consideration on the TownePlace Suites by Marriott brand, which is affiliated with Marriott International, a specific franchise affiliation and/or brand has yet to be finalized. Based on our review of the agreement’s terms or expected terms, the TownePlace Suites by Marriott franchise is reflected in our forecasts with a royalty fee of 5% of rooms revenue, and a marketing assessment of 1.5% of rooms revenue. Summary of Hotel Local employers and regional development activity, as well as interstate travelers Market Trends and local residents, represent the primary sources of demand for the selected competitive market. Occupancy levels were relatively subdued in the years following the national recession, between 2009 and 2013, failing to rise above 50% occupancy. Demand began to strengthen somewhat in 2014, a trend that continued through the majority of 2015, pushing the year-to-date occupancy above 60% for the first time in the last ten years. In recent years, the market's demand growth has been supported by an increase in development activity in the southern Kansas City area. For the southernmost hotels in this competitive set, demand generators include the new NNSA (National Nuclear Security Administration) and USDA facilities in and around the CenterPoint KCS Intermodal Center, as well as the Cerner Trails campus. Demand growth for hotels in the northern half of the competitive set has been driven largely by activity at the Truman Sports Complex. Given that the MLB Royals baseball team made the playoffs in 2015, additional demand was generated by World Series games hosted in Kansas City.
