SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caliber (NASDAQ: CWD), a real estate investor, developer, and manager, announced today the successful closing of a $22.5 million refinance for the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Tucson, Arizona. The property is held within Caliber’s Tax-Advantaged Opportunity Zone Fund. Citi provided the funding and Arriba Capital served as the financial advisor on the cash-out refinance. Proceeds from the transaction will be used to further strengthen the asset and support reinvestment across the Fund’s portfolio, advancing ongoing growth and value creation within Caliber’s Opportunity Zone strategy. “The DoubleTree by Hilton Tucson Downtown Convention Center is a high-quality asset in a strong market, and this transaction underscores its long-term value,” said Chris Loeffler, CEO of Caliber, “This is Caliber’s first financing with Citi, a relationship we expect will grow with time, and our first closing with Arriba Capital, who acted as an advisor in the financing. The financing markets are showing renewed strength and Caliber expects to continue to close deals throughout 2025.” The hotel, developed by Caliber in partnership with Rio Nuevo, a TIF district, and the City of Tucson, opened in 2021. The property is operated by Highgate Hospitality under a long-term franchise agreement with Hilton Worldwide. Located just minutes from the University of Arizona, downtown Tucson, and key medical and business hubs, the property has become a key contributor to local economic development. “This transaction reflects both the strength of the underlying asset and Caliber’s continued ability to realize value through disciplined execution,” said Ryan Bosch, Principal at Arriba Capital, which acted as the financial advisor on the deal. “Delivering sponsor liquidity while positioning the asset for long-term success made this a win on all sides.” Caliber’s Tax-Advantaged Opportunity Zone Fund targets strategic real estate investments in high-growth markets across the Southwest, with a focus on delivering long-term risk-adjusted returns while driving positive community impact. The Fund is closed for new investment and is seeking opportunities to acquire or merge with established Opportunity Zone funds seeking to diversify their holdings and gain access to scale. The Fund manages approximately $271 million across 18 individual real estate assets and qualified opportunity zone investments. For more information on the project, visit Caliber’s website.
