Cottonwood Group announced today the closing of a $102 million loan to refinance the InterContinental Houston – Medical Center. Cottonwood collaborated with Hana Alternative Asset Management to provide the financing to the luxury hotel developed by renowned Texas developer Medistar Corporation.
InterContinental Houston – Medical Center, which opened in March 2019, is a 22-story, 354-key hotel in the thriving Texas Medical Center (“TMC”) of Houston, Texas. The TMC is the largest medical complex in the world, with over 50 million square feet across 290 buildings, 21 hospitals, and 1,345 acres. It is also home to Texas Children’s Hospital, the world’s largest children’s hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center, the world’s largest cancer hospital.
Located at 6750 Main Street, InterContinental Houston – Medical Center is the first full-service luxury hotel delivered in the TMC in several decades. Welcoming business and transient guests to the TMC ecosystem, the hotel features a high-end food and beverage offering, lobby bar, outdoor pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, workstations, and over 11,000 square feet of meeting and ballroom space. Unique to the hotel is its concierge medical clinic, which offers two private examination rooms and provides unparalleled on-site convenience and privacy.
“We are delighted to partner again with Hana Alternative Asset Management, after their investment in Cottonwood’s EchelonSeaport™ development in Boston, MA, to provide this transitional financing to the newly constructed InterContinental Houston – Medical Center,” said Jeffrey Horowitz, Senior Vice President of Investments at Cottonwood Group. “We are proud to contribute to the success of this landmark project which will meet a critical need for guests visiting and doing business in the TMC and look forward to building a lasting relationship with Medistar as they continue to expand their presence in the area.”
