Matthews™ Facilitates Record-Breaking Sale of Fairfield Inn in Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS, IN— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, completed the sale of a Fairfield Inn, located at 5400 Weston Road in Evansville, Indiana. Matthews™ Vice President Mitchell Glasson and Associate Luke Whittaker represented the seller in the $8,800,000 transaction, with Kyle Matthews as the broker of record. The sale ranked as the largest transaction for a hospitality property in Evansville for price and square footage within the past year.

 

Constructed in 1995, the 110-room Fairfield Inn underwent a full renovation in 2022, supported by approximately $3 million in owner-funded capital improvements. The hotel benefits from demand tied to the University of Southern Indiana and a reported $500 billion expansion planned for downtown Evansville.

 

The seller, a repeat Matthews™ client, elected to market the asset as part of a long-term portfolio strategy emphasizing ownership in income tax-free states and future-focused asset planning. Matthews™ executed a targeted marketing process, generating 14 offers and directly sourcing the buyer, a seasoned hotelier with a portfolio of approximately 10 properties in the area.

 

“Through a structured call-for-offers process, we created meaningful competition,” Glasson said. “That environment helped us identify a qualified buyer and deliver notable pricing metrics, including $80,000 per key and a 3.50x room revenue multiple.”
