The Standard High Line on NYC's West Side has been sold.
In a deal around one of New York City’s standout West Side properties, JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group arranged the sale of The Standard High Line in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District.
Reports indicate Hong Kong’s Gaw Capital acquired the hotel for $323 million. Asia real estate intelligence website, Mingtiandi, noted, “The private equity firm acquired the Standard Hotel through the limited liability company GC SHL on Oct. 27, according to city records cited by Real Estate Weekly.”

The 338-room property, which opened in 2008, will continue to be managed by Standard International.
All guestrooms feature a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with views of Manhattan and/or the Hudson River. The hotel’s public spaces include a German beer garden at ground level, the rooftop discothèque Le Bain, the Top of The Standard, and an outdoor public plaza with rotating art installations and a winter ice rink.
In addition, there are five food and beverage outlets, including the Standard Grill.
JLL’s International Director Jeffrey Davis, Managing Director Gilda Perez-Alvarado and VP Brady Rice led the JLL team on the transaction.
