Fibra Inn Announces Reopening of Holiday Inn Hotel in Ciudad Juarez

MONTERREY, Mexico, Aug. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Deutsche Bank Mexico, S.A., Banking institution, Trust Division F/1616 or Fibra Inn (BMV: FINN13, ADR OTC: DFBRY) (“Fibra Inn” or “the Company”), a Mexican real estate investment trust internally managed specializing in the hotel industry serving the traveler with global brands, announced that it has concluded the remodeling and rebranding of the Holiday Inn hotel in Ciudad Juarez, which reopened yesterday.

Fibra Inn invested a total of Ps. 211.2 million in the project, which includes Ps. 66.7 million allocated towards the construction of 54 additional rooms. The hotel is expected to stabilize during the following 24 months.

The hotel reopens operations with 196 rooms with rates above Ps. 2,100 average per room, compared to the previous rate of Ps. 877 per room charged in 2017 prior the remodeling and rebranding. This property operates under the full service format and Grupo Hotelero Prisma will continue to manage operations.

The hotel’s potential performance is supported by its strategic location, since it is 15 minutes from the Ciudad Juarez International Airport and has proximity to companies such as 3M, Lear Corporation, Delphi, Cooper Standard, Eaton Flex and Yazaki, among others. Additionally, it is located near the border at Ysleta Bridge and Cordova Americas Bridge, which are international bridges to El Paso, Texas.

“Fibra Inn’s property repositioning strategy offers an alternative to improve profitability of invested capital of certain properties located in privileged areas and which have market growth potential. Fibra Inn confirms its commitment to continue generating additional shareholder value”, stated Oscar Calvillo, Chief Executive Officer.
