Alpine Realty Capital Closes Sale of Michigan Hampton Inn

Alpine Realty Capital continues to cover Michigan coast-to-coast

Alpine Realty Capital, a leading advisor in hospitality real estate investment and member of Hotel Brokers International, today announced that it has successfully represented the owner in the sale of the Hampton Inn by Hilton in Port Huron, Michigan.

Alpine was able to utilize the power of the Hotel Brokers International marketing platform and its website www.hbihotels.com to reach buyers from across the country. Through this network, Alpine was able to secure numerous offers despite revenue variability in 2025 resulting from the property’s location along the US-Canadian border.

“Port Huron has historically been a consistently strong market due to the presence of international companies and the Blue Water Bridge International Border Crossing,” said Ed Walsh, President of Alpine Realty Capital. “Despite numerous disruptions as a result of tariff and trade policy during the marketing period, we were able to secure numerous offers and guide the buyer and seller to a successful closing,” continued Walsh.

Alpine works daily with groups looking for opportunities to provide capital investment or other means to provide equity returns. In an environment in which the supply of lodging properties for sale is scarce and construction costs remain high, Alpine is seeing ever-increasing interest in acquisitions from various groups, including owner-operators, who are seeking to participate in the industry’s strong returns while buying for less than replacement cost.
