Principal Investments
We acquire hotel assets, common and preferred equity interests, and debt positions. We assess cash flow, payment priority, control rights and the path to realization for each investment.

The firm
Based in New York, we invest in U.S. hospitality and actively oversee investment strategy, capital requirements and asset performance.
Our role
We source and underwrite opportunities, structure the investment and oversee its business plan with operators and specialist advisers.

Accredited investors participate in Alterra-sponsored private funds and investment vehicles. Offering documents identify the issuer and define investor economics, rights and commitments.
Investment approach
We assess the hotel business, its real estate and the proposed capital position together. We consider other asset classes selectively where our expertise supports the investment case.
Alterra IQ / Investment intelligence
Alterra IQ is our internal research platform, built around a decade of accumulated research. It combines CoStar, STR and Trepp data with transaction comparables, appraisals, ownership and debt records.
AI-assisted mapping and pattern analysis help the team identify operating gaps, financing pressure and potential transactions. We test those signals through underwriting and diligence.
Link ownership, hotel performance, valuations and financing terms to understand the asset and its capital needs.
For example, a loan maturity alongside weakening cash flow prompts a review of refinancing capacity, funding needs and ownership options.
Test continued ownership, repositioning, adaptive reuse, recapitalization and credit investment against costs, timing and execution risks.
IQ supports the CIO and core team on principal investments. Its output informs judgment; it does not establish causation or guarantee outcomes or a fixed lead time.
Geographic strategy
New York is our base and U.S. hotels are our investment focus. Our business brings together American investors, owners, sponsors, operators and lenders. We also develop investor relationships across Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), connecting international capital with U.S. opportunities.
Local underwriting and execution support U.S. investment opportunities for domestic and international investors.
