A 278-room hotel on D.C.’s southwest waterfront has been recapitalized.

Intercontinental Washington D.c. At 801 Wharf St. Sw

CarrAmerica obtained a $99M refinancing loan from Morgan Stanley for the InterContinental hotel at The Wharf, Newmark, which brokered the deal, announced this week.

The hotel includes restaurant Willowsong, bar The Watering Hole, a spa, a rooftop pool and more than 17K SF of meeting and event space. Newmark’s Jordan Roeschlaub, Nick Scribani, Tyler Dumon and Tate Keir arranged the financing.

The deal comes after the majority of the $3.6B Wharf megaproject was recapitalized last year, when Canadian pension fund PSP Investments bought out the stakes of developers Hoffman & Associates and Madison Marquette and then secured a $1B loan. The InterContinental — which was built by a separate partnership of CarrAmerica, IHG and Clark Enterprises — wasn't part of that deal.
