Overview/The Firm
The Firm

Purpose-built sponsor. Single thesis. Owner-operator alignment.

Allencrest Group LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, is organized to sponsor, manage, and invest alongside its investors in private real estate funds that acquire Hilton, Marriott, and other branded flag limited-service hotels and execute the Allencrest deskless operating model.

Firm Profile

A specialist, not a generalist.

The firm does not invest across sectors, strategies, or geographies. Its scope is hospitality, its flag family is Hilton, its product type is limited-service hotels, and its target geography is a tightly defined set of MSAs where the managing principal has sourcing depth and operating familiarity.

That specificity is the moat. Institutional LPs, lenders, and franchise counterparties can underwrite a repeatable playbook far more easily than they can underwrite diversified intent.

Governance

Investment Committee and Operating Committee.

The firm maintains a two-committee structure. The Investment Committee approves every acquisition, disposition, material capital event, and amendment to fund documents. The Operating Committee monitors portfolio performance, lender covenants, brand-compliance status, and technology deployment across each hotel SPE.

Both committees meet on a defined cadence documented in the firm’s operating agreement and the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement.

Allencrest engages specialized third-party providers for each critical fund function. The firm does not self-administer or self-audit.

Fee Philosophy

Transparent. Modest. Aligned.

Allencrest Capital Management earns economics in three places: an annual asset management fee, a share of net distributions (the carry), and a co-investment return on GP capital. The firm does not earn acquisition, disposition, development, or financing fees from Fund investments, and does not accept vendor rebates.

Management Fee

1.5% annually

Charged on committed capital during the investment period; invested capital thereafter. Paid quarterly in advance.

Carried Interest

30% GP interest

Earned after LP preferred return and GP catch-up mechanics; final residual split of 70% LP / 30% GP.

GP Co-Invest

Skin in the game

The GP or its principals commit meaningful capital alongside LPs on economic terms identical to LP interests.

Final fees and carry are governed by the Fund’s Limited Partnership Agreement.
