Foreclosure Proceedings- Westin Tempe Hotel – Update Feb. 26, 2024

The Westin Tempe Hotel, with 290 rooms, was built and commenced operations in October 2021. Recent reports from ConnectCRE indicate that a $5 million loan payment was not made in December 2023. Consequently, Hall Structured Finance, the lender that provided the $86.5 million construction loan, has reportedly initiated foreclosure proceedings on the hotel.

Unless the outstanding payments are resolved or the hotel secures refinancing, a foreclosure auction is set for April 24, 2024, according to Fact Right, an alternative investment due diligence site. CAI Investments LLC, based in Las Vegas, reportedly developed the hotel. According to Fact Right, confirmation of the notice of trustee sale filing was obtained from the Maricopa County Recorder earlier this week.

CAI Investments, LLC, a property manager/developer and private placement sponsor, reportedly filed a form D to raise capital from investors in 2017 for the offering CAI Tempe Hotel Partners, LLC. The total offering amount sold was purportedly $3,556,925 and the dealer fees and sales commissions were estimated at 10% of the total offering amount sold.

The Risks of Reg D Private Placement Investments- CAI Tempe Hotel Partners, LLC

Reg D private placements are typically sold by brokerage firms in exchange for a large up front commission, usually between 7-10%, as well as additional “due diligence fees” that can range from 1-3%.

The trouble with Reg D private placements, like CAI Tempe Hotel Partners, LLC, is that they involve a high degree of risk and are typically sold as unregistered securities. These investments lack the same regulatory oversight as more traditional investment products like stocks or bonds.

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for improperly selling CAI Tempe Hotel Partners, LLC to investors.

Broker Due Diligence

Broker dealers that sell alternative investments are required to perform adequate due diligence on all investment recommendations. They must ensure that each investment recommendation that is made is suitable for the investor in light of the investor’s age, risk tolerance, net worth, financial needs, and investment experience.

Unfortunately, sometimes financial advisors may  misrepresent the basic features of the products – usually focusing on the income potential and tax benefits while downplaying the risks.

Fortunately, FINRA does provide for an arbitration forum for investors to resolve such disputes. If a broker or brokerage firm makes an unsuitable investment recommendation or fails to adequately disclose the risks associated with an investment they may be found liable for investment losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
