Corten Real Estate Exits Ace Hotel Brooklyn Investment

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Corten Real Estate announced that it has exited a participating preferred equity investment made in the Ace Hotel Brooklyn. In partnership with affiliates of GFI Capital Resources Group, Inc. and Spruce Capital Partners, Corten led a recapitalization of the property with an investment funded through both a separate account it manages and Corten Real Estate Fund I LP in February 2021.

The property is a full-service, 287-key, premier urban lifestyle hotel located in Brooklyn's Boerum Hill neighborhood. It features numerous amenities, including multiple food and beverage outlets, retail spaces, and meeting/special events spaces.

Corten Principal Brandon Flury noted that "GFI's vision, the Ace brand, and this unique location made the deal compelling from the outset. While the New York City hospitality market has once again proven its resiliency through its post-Covid resurgence, what ultimately made the investment successful was the alignment we had with our partners on how best to operate and optimize the asset-level business plan. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and look forward to being an accretive, strategic investor alongside GFI and other best-in-class operating partners in the very near future."
