It is not uncommon to see the per-key cost on conversion projects in Hawaii reach the six-figure mark. We will conduct a pre-PIP evaluation, a brand(s) recommendation if appropriate, and most importantly, a creative vision for the property with up-to-date market underwriting.
Reliable and realistic construction cost estimates and FF&E and OS&E budgets are developed from historic and current hotel project data we collect from projects throughout Hawaii.
Even the most successful developers need support in selecting and negotiating with major brands. Powell & Aucello helps identify crucial branding and management decisions that maximize a property’s value. Our clients quickly realize the tremendous value we add by securing increased franchise fee incentives and favorable hotel management agreement terms.
Whether the need is to understand the economic viability of a project before proceeding, preparing an investor solicitation package, or adding a key component to a lender financing package, we approach every client’s needs with individual attention.
