Performance, by Design.

One sentence, two arguments. Engineered for performance — cost basis, Remington HMA, MAI valuation, geotech and ALTA governance. Designed for demand — GFRC façade, infinity edge, rooftop, and a plate sequence that earns the ADR.

The four pillars.

Scarcity, experience premium, brand alignment, and design as pricing power — the structural drivers of FIRA's institutional return profile.

02Investment Thesis

Demand is not speculative. It is institutional.

FIRA is positioned within the Unbound Collection by Hyatt — a curated portfolio of independent hotels operating on a global distribution platform. The asset retains its identity while benefiting from institutional demand channels and a high-performing direct booking ecosystem.

Brand Profile · Guest Experience
01
Scarcity
Low key count, high privacy. Controlled supply drives ADR to $600+ baseline positioning.
02
Experience Premium
F&B, rooftop, spa and curated programming expand revenue beyond room-only economics.
03
Brand & Operator
Hyatt Unbound distribution + Remington execution. Institutional demand and NOI delivery.
04
Design as Pricing Power
Architecture creates demand — not just differentiation. Supports $1,000+ peak ADR.

Value drivers.

How each pillar translates into measurable yield, NOI expansion, and exit multiple.

II.IIValue Drivers

Four mechanics that produce institutional-grade returns.

Underwriting Logic

140 keys in a market starved of luxury supply.

FIRA enters a sub-market with structural under-supply of true luxury inventory. The constrained key count protects ADR integrity and supports the underwriting of $600+ stabilized rates.

Site & context.

The McDowell Range setting and the R-4R PCD parcel — entry basis, embedded equity, and capital efficiency.

03Land Investment

Entry advantage. Protected downside. Amplified upside.

The land was secured below current market basis, creating a structural cost advantage that flows directly into yield on cost and exit value.

Land basis — interactive.

Stress-test the basis advantage against current market comparables.

II · 03Land Basis Sensitivity

A defensible basis is the first underwriting decision.

FIRA's land was secured at $6.6M ($47K/key) — well inside the institutional comp set. Adjust the basis to inspect the impact on yield on cost and development spread.
