Midas Hospitality Raises $35 Million For Opportunity Zone Fund

/

In only four months, Midas Hospitality – a leading hotel development, management and investment firm – raised $35 million mainly from St. Louis area investors for its Midas Opportunity Zone Fund.

Midas Hospitality’s newest project brings the first hotels to the St. Louis’ Cortex innovation district and Prospect Yards community.  The 129-room Aloft and a 152-room Element hotel are currently under construction and slated to open in 2020.  MC Hotel Construction, a sister company to Midas Hospitality, is the general contractor for both hotels.

Aloft is located at 4239 Duncan Ave., and the Element is at 3763 Forest Park Ave.  The hotels will target transient and extended stay customers for the thriving area that includes Aon, Boeing, Microsoft and Square among its tenants.  Barnes-Jewish Medical Center, Saint Louis University, SSM Health, and Washington University St. Louis are also conveniently located nearby.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) recently created a new law which provides tax incentives for Opportunity Fund investments like Midas Hospitality’s Cortex undertaking.  While this was an added tax benefit for the project, Midas had already committed to the hotel construction prior to this tax change announcement.

“The success and excitement building in and around the Cortex, as well as the need for these attractive hotels in that area, were a huge draw for our prestigious list of investors,” said Midas Hospitality’s Co-Founder J.T. Norville.  “The significant tax benefits afforded by the recent legislation changes have been the icing on the cake, and we couldn’t be prouder that St. Louis is realizing the advantages of this new opportunity.”.

Midas Hospitality to Bring First Element by Westin to St. Louis

/

A new eco-conscious hotel, which will be built at the home of a long-time area non-profit organization, is coming to St. Louis by 2019.

Owner Midas Forest Park, LLC, a subsidiary of Midas Hospitality, recently bought the current home of Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis (HFHSL) located at 3763 Forest Park Ave.  The 1.5 acre property was purchased for $2.4 million to make way for the $25 million Element by Westin.  Midas Hospitality will lease the non-profit organization space for up to one year while it relocates.

The hotel concept encourages renewal through a nature-influenced environment and is constructed with an efficient use of space and sustainability in mind.  The eight-story, 119,000-square-foot hotel will include 153 extended stay rooms and feature 10,000-square-foot retail space plus a rooftop lounge.

The environmentally-responsible rooms will have oversized windows to allow natural light plus fully-equipped kitchens with spa-inspired bathrooms.  The hotel will have an extensive fitness center, an all-natural saline pool, and a borrow-a-bike program for its guests.  Element will be located directly across from the St. Louis Foundry redevelopment.  It will back up to St. Louis University and be only three blocks from the Cortex Innovation District and one block from Ikea.

Midas Hospitality will manage the hotel.  The builder is MC Hotel Construction, a general contractor specializing in new hotel construction and renovations, which is the sister company of Midas Hospitality.  The architecture firm is Gray Design.  All three companies are based in St. Louis, Mo., and this is the first Element hotel built and managed by these businesses.  Carrolton Bank provided the financing for the acquisition.

“The vibrant midtown area is the perfect place for an environmentally-friendly Element by Westin,” said Midas Hospitality CEO David Robert.  “We are excited to work with this growing community by providing extended stay lodging to the university campuses, innovation district, and medical community.”

“We are delighted with the sale and what it will mean to our much needed work in the community.  As good stewards of our organization’s assets, we were pleased to be able to take advantage of the strong commercial real estate market in the area,” said Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis CEO Kimberly McKinney.  “For up to a year, we will be continuing our important work of building safe and affordable housing for hard working families from our current Forest Park Avenue location.  We look forward to sharing more information in the future on our operations for our city Habitat ReStore, our construction warehouse and our administrative offices in a conveniently relocated space.”

Habitat for Humanity Saint Louis (HFHSL) is a not-for-profit, ecumenical housing ministry working in partnership with individuals and communities of all faiths to improve housing conditions and provide safe, decent and affordable housing in St. Louis City and County.  In addition to a down payment and a mortgage, each HFHSL homebuyer invests 350 sweat-equity volunteer hours into building or rehabbing a home and attending life skills classes.  For more information, visit http://www.habitatstl.org.
