The 1899 historic building was substantially renovated in 2024. Hotel opened August 2024 — buyer inherits modern systems, finishes, and FF&E with no near-term capital plan required. Hotel rooms, ground-floor gallery lease, First Friday recurring events, and 5 confirmed private events for 2026 — diversifying cash flow with high-margin pass-through revenue. +44% YoY revenue growth (Aug–Dec 2024 vs. 2025). +55% YoY direct-booking growth (Jan–Feb 2025 vs. 2026). Direct channel share now 58% of 2026 YTD revenue.
