Hotel Melby Remains Unaffected by Hurricane Dorian

Melby unaffected by DorianSeptember 6, 2019, Melbourne, Florida.

Many residents and businesses on Florida’s east coast recently braced for Hurricane Dorian, which was predicted to be one of the most severe storms to hit Florida in many years. Luckily, Hurricane Dorian showed mercy to the entire state by changing courses just hours before the storm was set to hit, thus avoiding major damage.

The LCP Group, L.P.’s (LCP) latest investment property, Hotel Melby, a Tapestry Collection Hotel by Hilton, which is currently underway in Melbourne, Florida, remained unaffected by the storm. The general contractor ensured the site and crane remained safe and secure, and a water drainage plan was successfully implemented for the site. There was no damage to the site or to the work in progress from Hurricane Dorian. The general contractor is back on site and construction is continuing as planned.

Hotel Melby will be a modern 11-story 156-room boutique hotel located in the heart of Florida’s Space Coast. The Florida Space Coast is a thriving economic market suited for a premier hotel brand that will cater to local corporate leaders in the aviation, technology, aerospace, and defense industries such as NASA, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, SpaceX, and Blue Origin. Due to the unique underwriting fundamentals of this project, it is projected to yield up to two times the investment amount for investors upon an assumed sale in year five of the investment period. And, there are still a few investor spots left!
