Crescent Real Estate Sells Luxury Hotel at Avalon in Alpharetta
Crescent Real Estate has completed the sale of the 330-room Hotel at Avalon, a luxury property in Alpharetta's mixed-use Avalon development.
Crescent Real Estate LLC announced Thursday the completed sale of The Hotel at Avalon, a 330-room luxury hotel situated within the Avalon mixed-use development in Alpharetta, Georgia, marking a significant disposition for the Fort Worth-based real estate firm.
The property, which Crescent originally acquired in September 2020, is embedded within Avalon, a high-profile mixed-use destination that has drawn recognition as an award-winning retail, residential, and hospitality hub north of Atlanta.
