VIZZDA – November 20th, 2013 – The long-standing
Twin Palms Hotel at 225 E Apache Blvd in Tempe has been purchased by Chicago-based
AJ Capital Partners for $5,884,245. Mr. Fred Anthon of Missouri, owner of Crown
Packaging, sold the property after owning the property for eighteen years.
Located just South of Arizona State University’s Gammage
Auditorium on the southwest corner of Apache Boulevard & College Avenue,
Twin Palms is a 7-story hotel built 1975 with 140 rooms. The 2.41-acre parcel
includes a freestanding restaurant leased to International House of Pancakes (IHOP
#1510) dating back to 1968. There are also a number of telecommunication leases
on the site.
AJ Capital financed the purchase with $6.75M debt loaned by
Spectrum Life Insurance Co. Mr. Ben Weprin founded AJ Capital Partners in 2008, with the
“A” & “J” standing for Adventurous Journeys. Their prestigious portfolio
spans Auberge Resorts, Isle De France in St. Barths, to the re-development of
Chicago’s Athletic Association. City of Tempe planners indicated no new
entitlement cases for the site.
