Moody National REIT II Offloads Nashville Embassy Suites for $57.5M

The divestiture marks a strategic shift as the REIT continues reshaping its real estate portfolio.

April 21, 2025

Key Asset Sale Completed

Moody National REIT II has completed the sale of its Embassy Suites hotel located at 1811 Broadway in Nashville. The 208-room property was acquired by Reade Hotel Capital, a New York-based firm with no affiliation to the REIT. The total purchase price came to $57.5 million, and the deal officially closed on April 11, 2025.

The Nashville Embassy Suites had been part of Moody National REIT II’s broader hospitality portfolio. Classified as a select service hotel, the property represented a meaningful piece of the REIT’s real estate footprint. This transaction signals the REIT’s continued focus on refining its asset base and realigning capital where it sees the strongest opportunity.

Why It Matters

For a non-traded REIT like Moody National REIT II, active portfolio management is critical. Every sale or acquisition reflects a larger review process—one that factors in performance, market outlook, and capital efficiency. While the company didn’t specify its reasons for selling this particular hotel, the move fits within common strategies that include:

• Redeploying capital into higher-priority assets


• Reducing leverage or strengthening liquidity


• Capturing favorable pricing in dynamic markets

This isn’t the first mention of the sale. The REIT initially disclosed the purchase and sale agreement back in December 2024. The April filing confirms that the deal has closed and ownership has officially transferred.

Strategic Repositioning in Focus

Moody National REIT II is headquartered in Houston and invests primarily in U.S. hospitality assets. As a non-traded REIT, its investor base typically accesses offerings through private placements. Without a public market listing, the REIT relies heavily on maintaining asset performance and adapting its portfolio to stay aligned with evolving conditions.

This transaction aligns with that strategy. The Nashville hospitality market has remained strong, attracting investor interest as travel and business demand continue to recover. By selling at a time of favorable market dynamics, the REIT executed on an opportunity to crystalize value and potentially shift focus toward markets or properties with new upside potential.

Reade Hotel Capital, the buyer, adds another hospitality property to its portfolio in a key metro area. For Moody National REIT II, this sale represents more than a single transaction—it reflects a disciplined approach to managing capital, monitoring performance, and acting when timing lines up with strategy.
