BURR RIDGE, ILL. — Aries Conlon Capital has arranged a $12.5 million bridge loan for the Crowne Plaza hotel near Chicago’s Midway International Airport in Burr Ridge, a southwest suburb of Chicago. The 123-room hotel, located at 300 S. Frontage Road and built in 1969, was previously a Quality Inn & Suites that had been fully renovated and reflagged recently as the IHG Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts brand. Managed by Chesapeake Hospitality, the property features meeting space, an indoor pool, restaurant, fitness center and business center. Rushi Shah of Aries Conlon arranged the 24-month, interest-only loan on behalf of the borrower, Vega Hospitality Group. Access Point Financial Inc. was the lender. Since the property’s cash flow was not yet at sufficient levels to cover the total debt, refinancing was almost impossible. Once the property is stabilized, the bridge loan will be refinanced to non-recourse permanent debt, according to Shah.
