Focused on the most resilient segment of lodging
VANA focuses on economy and lower-midscale extended-stay hotels, a resilient segment of the lodging market supported by non-discretionary demand. Guests often require affordable, longer-term accommodations for work assignments, healthcare, relocation, infrastructure projects, and other essential needs.
This demand profile, combined with a lean operating model and limited new supply in many markets, underpins our conviction in the segment. We pursue this opportunity across three strategies: ground-up development, value-add conversions, and selective acquisitions. Our approach is disciplined and data-driven, targeting investments where market fundamentals and execution can create value.
Ground-Up Development
Purpose-built economy and lower-midscale extended-stay hotels in markets with compelling supply-demand fundamentals.
Value-Add Conversions
Repositioning existing lodging assets and other property types to capture demand for affordable, longer-term accommodations.
Selective Acquisitions
Existing extended-stay assets where basis, cash flow, and local fundamentals support attractive risk-adjusted returns.
