Overview
Property Description
Fairfield Inn & Suites Huntsville Madison and Fairfield Inn & Suites Cullman comprise a newly developed, two-property Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott portfolio totaling 170 guestrooms across two of North Alabama’s fastest-growing submarkets. Both assets are fee-simple, owned and developed by the same sponsor, and constructed to Marriott’s latest Generation 6 prototype, offering investors institutional-quality product with modern design, operational efficiency, and strong brand alignment.
The portfolio benefits from exceptional regional fundamentals driven by aerospace, defense, automotive manufacturing, and technology employment growth. The Madison hotel is strategically positioned near Huntsville International Airport, Redstone Arsenal, and Cummings Research Park, while the Cullman hotel is located along the I-65 corridor between Huntsville and Birmingham, serving robust corporate, logistics, and transient demand. Together, the assets offer complementary exposure to high-growth demand drivers with limited new supply.
With staggered openings—Cullman now operational and Madison delivering in late 2025—the portfolio provides near-term cash flow with a clear runway to stabilization, supported by Marriott’s global reservation system and Bonvoy loyalty platform.
