Whether you’re planning to roll out a new Boutique Hotel concept, wishing to expand your existing presence, or simply need help refreshing your existing brand, we can help.

WEBER DEVELOPMENT GROUP is a team of seasoned real estate developers, financial analysts, architectural designers, artistic designers and fabricators, construction managers and general contractors. We are focused on the Boutique Hotel industry, but also service resorts and other hospitality-related property types.

Boutique Hotels are an EXCITING and GROWING segment of the hospitality market, and developers and investors are realizing that NOW is the time to take advantage of this growth.

We believe creating a memorable, positive EXPERIENCE is the main ingredient necessary for the success of any Boutique Hotel. We understand today’s travelers are far more demanding, and they’ve come to expect more than just comfort and convenience when choosing their place to stay. They expect a unique property which provides them an engaging, customized, personal level of service which allows them to feel pampered and special. We believe this begins long before the guest checks in, and actually starts as early as the initial site selection, and when the design concepts are being sketched and the finishes and amenities are being finalized.

WEBER DEVELOPMENT GROUP is poised and ready to assist and guide through all aspects of this multi-faceted process. We understand what it takes to develop (and introduce) a new concept into the marketplace, as well as refresh an existing, tired brand, and our team of experts can work with you as little or as much as you desire. We understand you may not need us for “everything,” so our services can be selected ala’ carte, or as an all-inclusive approach... whatever works best for you.

Our desire is to help you create a concept in which you’re immensely proud and delighted.

Modeling: Economic - Financial - Demographic Statistical and Timeline We’ll build abstract representations of the current financial and economic climate. This will encompass many things, but will ultimately allow us to create a series of hypotheses about the behavior of markets into measurable predictions.

Market: Drive Time and Segmentation Studies Identifying and examining the habits of different groups of purchasers in specific markets will be the focus here.

We’ll identify the key segments of a geographical area then assess the area’s tolerance for willingness to pay premium price for lodging, then identify those services and amenities which are desired.

Consulting We provide consulting on new hotel developments, renovations, acquisitions and existing properties.

To assure a positive return on your investment, our consulting services are customized to your needs.

Site Value Enhancement This is the multi-disciplined task of bringing undeveloped or under-developed real estate to a developable state. We will objectively assess your site, looking for any problems, challenges or opportunities associated with it. Following our assessment, we’ll prepare a development plan and

relation to the development program, its environmental impact, and impacts on the community and adjacent properties and project budget and schedule. It identifies environmental, program, and development constraints and opportunities, and ultimately forms the essential foundation for a cost-effective, environmentally sensitive and rational approach to project development.

Project Development Feasibility

Bank / Private Equity / Incentives (TIF, NMTC, Historic and Hot Zone Tax Credits, etc.)

Our team executes strategic, integrated and comprehensive financial services for each of our clients, helping them make informed real estate decisions.

We’re experts at securing hotel financing, from equity capital for joint venture opportunities to debt financing, as well as securing TIF and various tax credit dollars.

This is the first development stage undertaken after determining the reasons and benefits for undertaking the project. This will consist of various studies, and an initial project outline will be defined. Identifying the most significant risks is critical, and also the best time to identify where value can be added.

Our team will handle the entire process, navigating the banking and financial community to negotiate your very best deal.

REO Assessment / Disposition Our team can market and manage Real Estate Owned (REO) portfolios held by government agencies, financial institutions, servicers and clients. We’re experts at providing full-service, turnkey asset management.

We can design a disposition strategy which minimizes hold time and maximizes return. We provide expertise in all areas of REO assessment / disposition, including property preservation and protection, inspection and assessment, valuation, asset management, marketing, reporting, title review and closing.

Master Planning Our master planning teams encourage the exchange of ideas between all disciplines involved to reach the most streamlined, cost-effective result.

Architectural / Interior Design Services Our team consists of an amazing group of seasoned and highly talented architects and designers with experience in not only hotel and resort development design, but also in museum and exhibit design, amusement and waterparks, zoos, luxury and multi-family housing and revitalization of the urban core.

Brand / Theme Development Having worked with numerous national thematic companies, such as: Disney, Nickelodeon, Crayola, Lego, Paramount, Mercedes-Benz, Six Flags / Premier Parks, etc., we understand the value and critical importance of having a strong brand identity.

Story Narrative Development Working in unison with Brand / Theme Development, our creative team are masters at weaving a story around any topic of interest you may have or wish to incorporate into your project. Our experience shows this is always favorably received by the guests.

Construction Project Management The key to any successful project is having skilled and knowledgeable management in place. We maintain a culture which places high value on critical thinking, open communication, and a willingness to invest early in good planning. Our process is to continually look ahead to see the big picture and evaluate the path of our progress as we perform our work.

Construction Scheduling The schedule is a critical component to the success of your project, as it will identify and organize your project’s tasks into a sequence of events which then create the management plan to allow us to understand our resources, constraints and risks. Our team is able to calculate the “critical path” we need to take in order to successfully complete your project in the shortest amount of time.

Cost Estimating / Preliminary Budgeting Our in-house estimators will prepare a detailed take-off for your project, including hard bids from at least three qualified subcontractors in every trade. We provide full disclosure on our pricing and our fees, so you will see where every dollar is going.

Every detail matters.

Our team is dedicated to excellence, unique design, and maximum profitability.
