THE "SHALE GATEWAY" OPPORTUNITY - Strategy Workforce Housing & Energy Sector Basecamp
Acquire a stabilized, 62-key asset at an exceptionally low basis of $21,000 per key. Pivot operations from transient tourism to "Workforce Basecamp" contracts, serving the high-demand energy and aerospace manufacturing sectors.
The Super 8 Newcomerstown is more than a hospitality asset; it is a strategic logistical hub at the gateway to the Utica Shale energy boom. With EOG Resources' recent $5.6 Billion acquisition of Encino Energy, drilling activity in the neighboring Harrison and Guernsey counties is rapidly expanding. This massive influx of energy workers—from roughnecks to engineers—faces a critical shortage of suitable housing.
• Irreplaceable Basis: Acquisition at land/shell value. Virtually zero downside risk at this price point.
• Hybrid Inventory: Unique mix of Interior - Corridors (for Engineers/Managers) and Exterior Corridors (for Field Crews) allows for 100% workforce capture.
• Strategic Location: Direct access to I-77 and US-36, the primary arteries for energy logistics fleets.
• No "New Supply" Risk: High construction costs prevent any new competition from entering the market at a comparable price point.
The Super 8 Newcomerstown represents a rare opportunity to acquire cash-flowing real estate at a fraction of replacement cost, perfectly timed for the 2026 Energy Boom.
