Roedel expands services offered at Hotel Saranac

New Hampshire-based hotel owner/operators Roedel Companies increased the number of services that will be offered at the Hotel Saranac. The organization is finalizing plans to include a signature restaurant, lobby bar, full-service spa, and Adirondack inspired retail shop. The full-service Hotel is slated to open to the public in early 2016. According to Fred Roedel III, managing member of Roedel Companies, the scope of the project was expanded to further meet the needs of the community and hotel guests. "As we've moved forward with this project, we realized there were more opportunities than we originally expected to restore the Hotel Saranac as the epicenter of the community," said Roedel. "These additional services will also meet the needs of today's guests while offering unique and authentic experiences." In addition to these projects, Roedel Companies is moving forward with significant renovations that will bring the hotel up to modern standards but not detract from the overall historic character of the building. The organization is in the process of completely renovating the property's interior including the second floor lobby, dining room/ballroom, arcade, terrace and storefront facades. Approximately 80 guest rooms in the main hotel and 20 rooms in the former Paul Smith's College dormitory building are being remodeled with new bathrooms, furniture and décor. The project also includes the construction of a parking structure that will support the Hotel.

Multi-generational multifamily owners - who’s in and who’s out - by Shallini Mehra and Amit Doshi

Many long-time property owners are divesting from their rent stabilized properties at an increasingly rapid pace. This trend has gained momentum primarily due to the unyielding permanence of rent laws over the past six years and the increasing operating costs that continue to outstrip rent growth. In addition, the judiciary’s elongated timeline in processing evictions and tenant rent challenges,

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
