Pillsbury partner Christian Salaman led a team representing independent real estate asset management firm Northridge Capital in a partnership with W Hotels Worldwide, which is part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. and Sarpa Development. As a part of that deal, one of Northridge Capital hotels, formerly known as Sky Hotel, will become the W Aspen and The Sky Residences at W Aspen. Northridge Capital will retain ownership of the hotel, which will become the first alpine location in North America from W Hotels.

The hotel, which is slated to open at the base of Aspen Mountain in Colorado in Winter 2017, will include 88 guest rooms, 11 W-branded fractional residences, and a 12,000 square foot rooftop bar and pool.

Pillsbury associate Brandt Schmidt worked with Salaman on the deal.
