Robb Sercu, Chief Communications Officer for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group and the Managing Director for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group-Commercial Division, and Commercial Broker Kim Lohry represented the seller, MPH Hotels, and brokered the sale to Trinity 123, LLC.

“We knew this property had great potential when we first started working on it with MPH back in 2014,” Sercu said. “With its lakefront, resort-style facility and business-centric location in the emerging community of Trinity, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Trinity has been very successful since it opened in 2015, and is well-positioned to continue to benefit from Tampa Bay’s growing employment and residential bases.”

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group customer MPH Hotels purchased the property’s vacant land in 2014. Along with MPH and Sercu, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group Broker/Owners Allen Crumbley and Dewey Mitchell, and agents Renee Dyer and Kim Lohry worked together to secure local investors for hotel construction and ownership.

The Holiday Inn Express & Suites is InterContinental Hotel Group’s fastest-growing brand. The Trinity property is located 18 miles from Tampa International Airport and offers strategic proximity to major transportation arteries, world-class businesses, Trinity Medical Center, golf clubs, beaches, restaurants, shopping, and other Greater Tampa Bay area attractions.

“We are thrilled to have led the growth and development of this property, resulting in record per-key transaction for a Holiday Inn Express in Florida,” said Allen Crumbley, Broker/Owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group. “Our commercial sales team is experienced and intimately familiar with the market. Our team will seek opportunities to create value and help develop customized real estate solutions for tenants, developers, investors, and commercial property owners.”
