EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
THE OPPORTUNITY
Unlock the potential of this 62-room, 3-story interior corridor asset located on the most lucrative commercial stretch in Alabama. Currently operating as a Quality Inn & Suites, this property offers a rare combination of ready-to-flag infrastructure and a high-demand location that supports a variety of exit strategies—from a premium Marriott or Hilton rebrand to a full-scale residential conversion.
PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS & AMENITIES
This is a high-utility, full-amenity facility designed for guest comfort and operational efficiency:
*Interior Corridors & Elevator: Essential for high-tier brand standards and critical for senior living or multifamily conversions.
*Indoor Heated Pool: A premium feature that drives higher weekend rates and offers a unique amenity for residential use.
*Business Center & Guest Laundry: Fully equipped spaces to cater to the Highway 280 corporate traveler and long-term residents.
*Operational Efficiency: Standardized room layouts
PREMIER LOCATION: THE HIGHWAY 280 CORRIDOR
The property sits at the heart of Birmingham’s "Golden Strip," where traffic and demographics meet:
*Traffic Count: Over 60,000 Vehicles Per Day (VPD) pass through this corridor, providing unmatched organic visibility.
*The Medical Hub: Just minutes from Grandview Medical Center (434 beds), creating recession-resistant demand for patient-family lodging and workforce housing.
*Retail & Corporate Density: Immediate access to The Summit (luxury shopping) and major headquarters including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama and Encompass Health.
STRATEGY 1: THE HOSPITALITY REBRAND
The property is perfectly positioned to pivot to "Premium Economy" or "Midscale," tapping into global reservation systems and higher ADR:
*City Express by Marriott: Marriott’s newest "affordable midscale" workhorse. Designed specifically for low-cost, high-impact conversions, it allows you to tap into the Marriott Bonvoy engine with minimal structural changes.
*Spark by Hilton: A disruptive conversion brand focusing on simplicity and consistency. Ideal for capturing Hilton Honors loyalists.
*Garner by IHG: IHG’s latest midscale flag, targeting quality-conscious travelers who prioritize reliable essentials and a strong loyalty program.
*Wingate by Wyndham: Leverage the existing indoor pool and business center to position the property as a premier business hub.
*Relicense with Choice Hotels for Quality Inn & Suites.
STRATEGY 2: ADAPTIVE REUSE & CONVERSION
In a 2026 market facing significant housing shortages, this is a turnkey solution for developers:
*Workforce/Medical Housing: Provide "micro-studio" units for the thousands of staff working at nearby Grandview Medical Center.
*Student Housing: Serve the graduate student populations of UAB and Samford University who desire the safety and convenience of the Inverness area.
*Senior Living/Memory Care: The elevator access and interior-corridor layout are ideal for a managed senior facility in a quiet, accessible cul-de-sac.
*Affordable Housing: Utilize state and federal incentives (LIHTC) to provide high-quality housing in a high-income, transit-accessible ZIP code.
You are buying a high-quality "box" on the best "dirt" in Birmingham. In a land-constrained market like Highway 280, new development is increasingly cost-prohibitive. This asset provides 62 rooms of infrastructure already equipped with an elevator and an indoor heated pool—features that are expensive to build from scratch.
Whether you capitalize on the Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors network to dominate local RevPAR, or solve the regional housing crunch through a multifamily pivot, the infrastructure is ready. This is a low-risk, high-reward entry into the most stable submarket in Alabama.
QUICK SPECS FOR BUYERS
*Stories: 3 (Interior Corridor with Elevator)
*Total Rooms: 62
*Key Amenities: Indoor Heated Pool, Business Center, Guest Laundry
*Land Area: ±1.47 Acres
Primary Demand: Medical (Grandview), Corporate (Inverness), Retail (The Summit)
