In strategic partnership with CREDE, Pacific Northwest Consulting LLC kicks off the year by wrapping up the Town Surprise project—a luxurious 114-unit townhome-style multifamily property located in Surprise, Arizona.

In May 2022, we initiated the project as the owners' representative for an equity investment firm. Throughout our project management, we played a key role in creating and overseeing the master schedule. Our contributions extended to advising investors on various aspects, including monthly pay application reviews, change order assessments, biweekly site inspections, and providing regular reports.

Now building W, the final component, obtained its certificate of occupancy on 12/28/23. Currently, the project is entering the closeout phase, with the final punch list underway for Building W.

Investing in a hotel property can be a lucrative venture; however, before taking the leap, consider a thorough property condition assessment. This process is crucial for prospective investors, it ensures a well-informed decision and a clear understanding of the condition of the asset they're acquiring.

Here's a snapshot of what a property condition assessment involves when provided by Pacific Northwest Consulting LLC (PNWC):

1. Preliminary Structure Evaluation: This includes a detailed visual inspection of the building's foundation, walls, and roofing to identify any potential structural issues. If structural issues are observed, PNWC will contract with a structural engineer to give a formal structural review and corrections. The goal is to ensure the property's long-term stability and security.

2. Mechanical Systems: The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are fundamental to guest comfort. We bring on a HVAC contractor to assess the age and condition of these systems, as upgrading them can be a significant investment.

3. Electrical and Plumbing: We ensure that the property's electrical and plumbing systems comply with local building codes and function optimally. Upgrading outdated systems may be necessary to maintain guest satisfaction and safety.

4. Guest Rooms and Common Areas: The condition and appearance of guest rooms and common areas significantly impact guest experience. A thorough assessment of furnishings, fixtures, and overall aesthetics is essential to determine if renovations or updates are needed.

5. Amenities and Facilities: Hotels often feature amenities such as pools, fitness centers, and dining areas. Investors should assess these facilities to ensure they meet the brand's standards and cater to the needs of modern travelers. PNWC contracts with the subs, suppliers and designers to assure that the equipment is up to brand standards.

6. Compliance and Regulations: We check for compliance with local building codes and regulations. Any violations or issues that may arise from non-compliance should be addressed before finalizing the purchase.

7. Cost Projections: We create a detailed cost projection for any necessary repairs or upgrades for all deficiencies that we observed during the inspection of the property. This step is essential for understanding the potential return on investment and future expenses.

Investors considering purchasing a hotel should be aware there will be regular maintenance and upgrades, as part of the brand's commitment to quality and guest satisfaction. A property condition assessment is a vital step for investors looking to purchase a hotel. It provides a comprehensive overview of the property's current condition and allows for an informed decision about potential improvements and enhancements that can benefit both the investor and future guests.

Pacific Northwest Consulting was hired last April by the developer of the Hampton Inn in Sherwood OR. The project was completely out of control on both the schedule and as well as the budgets. The existing GC was let go and PNWC brought on a new general contractor to I get the project moving forward and to get the budgets back under control. Once we achieved getting the project back in line and resolved the issues that the previous GC left, the developer had their staff take project back to manage with the assistance of PNWC. The property should be nearing the Grand Opening.
