Boston, MA: Jim O’Connell. Tom Foley and Jeff Nolan of O’Connell Hospitality Group, LLC represented Starwood Wakefield Realty LLC, the owners of the Sheraton Colonial Hotel, Golf Course and Country Club, Wakefield/Lynnfield, MA and introduced the Buyers, Pyramid Hotel Opportunity Venture II LLC to the project.

The project includes the 280 room full service hotel with 33,000 square feet of conference space and an 18 hole, championship golf course situated on approximately 220 acres. One very appealing aspect of the property is the fact that it has over 1,000 feet of frontage on I-95/U.S. Route 128 and can be directly accessed by two highway off ramps. The ease of access opens the property up to a myriad of potential alternative use development prospects.

The buyers are a joint venture between two very strong Boston real estate groups, Pyramid Advisors LLC and National Development. Pyramid has a multi-Billion dollar hotel portfolio primarily comprised of large, full service hotels in major metro marketplaces. National Development owns and develops institutional grade properties in every real estate segment. They own major office parks both north and south of the Sheraton Colonial project. Specific plans for the Colonial site are unknown at this time although the Sheraton Hotel is expected to be renovated and the brand affiliation will remain.

“The opportunity to acquire 220 acres along I-95/Rte 128, serviced by two highway off ramps attracted investors from across the country. Pyramid-National were able to combine forces to create the most attractive deal for both the Seller and their own investors. The quality of this investor group insures that however the project evolves, everyone including investors, employees and local municipalities will benefit” said Jim O’Connell of OHG.
