WASHINGTON, D.C. — Geolo Capital and JW Capital Partners have sold Thompson Washington D.C., a 225-room hotel that opened Jan. 8, to Hamburg, Germany-based Union Investment for $120 million.

The hotel offers three restaurant and bar concepts by Union Square Hospitality Group, in addition to 7,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space.  Thompson Hotel anchors The Yards, Brookfield Property’s 3 million-square-foot mixed-use development. Bank OZK provided construction financing for the hotel, which is located in Washington, D.C.’s Navy Yard neighborhood. Studios Architecture and Parts and Labor Design NYC designed the hotel, and John Moriarty & Associates provided preconstruction and general contracting services for the project.
