EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Reco Real Estate Advisors is pleased to present the AmericInn by Wyndham in West Burlington, Iowa — a 54-room midscale, interior-corridor hotel on 2.02 acres in the commercial core of Des Moines County
Built in 1998 and renovated in 2004, the property features two stories, a pool, hot tub, business center, 600 SF of meeting space, and 56 surface parking spaces
The investment thesis centers on three structural advantages: direct adjacency to the 2,700-employee Great River Health system headquarters and 378-bed regional medical center; a submarket with zero rooms under construction and net supply contraction over the past six years; and a diversified demand base spanning federal defense, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, gaming, and higher education
An incoming operator has clear upside through enhanced revenue management, targeted medical center capture, and improved digital distribution — all execution-driven levers requiring minimal capital outlay
DEMAND DRIVERS & MARKET CONTEXT
Great River Health / Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center — The largest employer in Des Moines County with 2,700 employees and 180 medical staff, headquartered in West Burlington less than one mile from the subject property on the same South Gear Avenue corridor.
Iowa Army Ammunition Plant (IAAAP) / American Ordnance LLC — A 19,000-acre government-owned, contractor-operated federal munitions facility eight miles west of Burlington, producing medium- and large-caliber ammunition and warheads for the Department of Defense since 1941. Employing approximately 700 personnel under the U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command, the installation generates demand from government inspectors, defense contractors, military TDY personnel, and specialized technicians. This demand is federally funded and operates independent of private-sector economic conditions.
Federal Mogul Ignition LLC (Tenneco Group) — A major manufacturing facility in Burlington producing a significant share of North America's spark plug supply, generating midweek corporate demand from management visits, engineering teams, and supply chain representatives.
Southeastern Community College — Located in West Burlington with approximately 2,260 students and 38 degree programs, SCC generates demand from visiting athletic teams, prospective student visits, faculty recruitment, and accreditation reviews. SCC partners with Great River Health for clinical rotations, layering education-linked healthcare demand.
RecPlex Regional Family Sports Complex — A tournament-class facility hosting soccer, softball, and volleyball events that draw regional family travel groups and provide weekend leisure demand complementing the midweek commercial base.
