Scope of Work​
Senior management of our firm (initially during their tenure with CBRE) worked with the University of Florida and UF Health Shands Hospital in the design and development of a new hotel adjacent to the Hospital complex. In addition to providing advisory services to senior leadership, our team completed a market study for the project. The team was engaged to provide advisory services during construction and pre-opening, as well as asset management after opening. In addition to oversight of the development, our team conducted a formal RFQ and RFP process to identify and select a management company, after which we negotiated the management agreement between the Hospital and the operator. Since opening, we have overseen the management company in the ongoing operation of the hotel. The $48 million project opened in July 2020.​
