Birmingham continues to experience rapid economic growth, with over $690 million in new building permits issued in 2024. Key highlights include the newly opened 9,300-seat Coca-Cola Star Amphitheater, 4.04 million overnight visitors, and major investments from companies like Coca-Cola and Wells Fargo. Jefferson County, Alabama’s largest economy, is being propelled by developments like the 1,100-acre JeffMet North Industrial Park, projected to create 4,700 jobs. With robust infrastructure and a pro-business environment, Birmingham is emerging as a regional hub for logistics, healthcare, and tech—positioning this hotel to benefit from sustained economic momentum.
The property also includes two income-producing long term retail tenants, Wings R King and Barristers Tavern, contributing stable and reliable cash flow of approximately $92,400 a year. If you allocate $10,000 of the expenses to the retail, at a 7% cap rate, the retail portion of the property value is approximately $1.1 million. So, investors are getting the hotel at $1.25 million, $39,063 per key.
