Designed for both short-term and extended stay travel occasions, Home2 Suites By Hilton, a four-story all-suites hotel, will feature 107 suites and will open at 2242 E. Tysons Trail in Sun Mountain Center, Wasilla, Alaska. “Wasilla is a vibrant and dynamic market, and with the hotel’s prime location near local business and attractions in the Sun Mountain Mixed-Use District, Home2 Suites is ideally positioned to welcome leisure guests, business travelers and local residents. We are excited to be under construction and look forward to introducing Home2 Suites’ innovative approach to travelers and the MatSu Valley community,” said Ric Marko, Principal, Affinity Hospitality. “We are proud to continue our collaboration with Hilton, Horne Management Group, A&amp;C Investment Group and H5 Construction to deliver a modern, midscale extended-stay hotel that meets the needs of today’s business and leisure travelers. With its strategic location, Home2 Suites Wasilla is poised to serve as a hub for travelers exploring Southcentral Alaska.” As Affinity’s second Home2 Suites hotel in Alaska and second hotel in Wasilla, this project reflects the company’s history of creating and enhancing value in hotels for our investment partners through sound strategy and efficient management. Home2 Suites Wasilla features modern extended-stay accommodations and home-like amenities, including spacious suites with fully equipped kitchens, complimentary hot breakfast and flexible indoor and comfortable outdoor spaces with firepits and BBQs. The hotel features an indoor pool and hot tub, fitness center, guest laundry and 936 square feet of meeting space to accommodate functions of up to 47 people. Guests will have easy access to local businesses and attractions, making the hotel attractive to both visitors and the MatSu community. “We are very excited to welcome the Home2 Suites to Wasilla, the fastest growing city in the State of Alaska, adding to the number of jobs and opportunities to our economy,” said Glenda Ledford, Mayor, City of Wasilla. C-PACER, which is administered by the Matanuska-Susitna Borough, provides flexible financing solutions for new, ongoing, or recently completed commercial real estate projects. Available in 40 states and Washington D.C., C-PACER has grown in popularity in the commercial real estate market as an attractive financing mechanism, particularly in a liquidity-constrained lending environment. NGC partnered with Northrim Bank on the project’s $30 million financing package to facilitate the use of the C-PACER program. $11 million in C-PACER financing will be utilized to fund the hotel’s energy efficiency, water conservation, and seismic resilience measures, which are crucial, due to the frequency of earthquakes in Alaska – known to be the most seismically active state in the U.S. The hotel’s C-PACER-funded energy efficiency measures will enable it to operate with a reduced carbon footprint and lower operating costs. &#34;We are proud to partner with Northrim Bank and Affinity Hospitality once again to provide an accretive financing package for this new Home2 Suites by Hilton—the first new construction C-PACE project in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. As C-PACE gains momentum across the U.S. as a cost-effective financing solution for commercial projects at every stage of construction, it is exciting to see its positive impact on Alaska's commercial real estate industry,&#34; said Aidan McLaughlin, Director of Originations for NGC.
