Investment banking
Large-cap real estate investment bank. Hotel work is typically trophy or portfolio, named in the financial press when it is public.

Harbor attaches a desk when a press release or public pattern names the firm — not an unpublished book. Missing prices stay missing. Linked houses open a labeled estimate.

Consideration
$4.60B
Two hotel-casinos in one real-estate sale-leaseback to MGP / Blackstone vehicles.
MGM / MGM Growth Properties announcements, 2020
Combined real-estate sale-leaseback. Harbor does not split the $4.6B into two invented hotel prices. Not a rooms-only comp.
Hire · not a brochure
Match the desk to the species of hotel. A trophy and a Hampton do not share a banker. Harbor will not invent a producer, a cell, or a league table. This folio is process help, not a cold list.
I · Source
A desk appears when a press release, 8-K, or firm page names the house. Harbor will not invent a producer to fill a row.
II · Practice desk
CBRE Hotels Americas and HWE Atlanta stand in when Harbor will not publish a private cell. Deal credit still needs a source.
III · Finding
Years with no attached tape stay blank. That is not a void to fill with a league table.
IV · Comps
Segment, keys, region, affiliation. If they cannot say which tapes have public prices, they are selling atmosphere.
V · Conflict
Who else do they represent on this asset or this buyer? Undisclosed dual agency is how you pay twice.
VI · Engagement
Tail, protection list, co-broker, marketing spend, and whether they can be the buyer. A handshake is not a hire.
