HVS
Toronto, Ontario
Director
2011 to 2014
Various Hotel Operational Positions
"We have had the pleasure of working with HVS on several appraisal assignments, and their quality of work has consistently exceeded our expectations. In particular, Charlie Shi and Angel Lai have demonstrated exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and in-depth market knowledge. Their thorough analyses and clear reporting have provided us with valuable insights that support our strategic decision-making. We highly value the integrity and diligence that HVS brings to every engagement and look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future." – Meenesh Gopal, Kingsbury Hospitality Group
"Team HVS's knowledge of the hospitality industry in Canada is incredible. This is reflected in the quality of the analyses and the reports. Financial institutions recognize this, and they readily rely on and accept the reports." – Bhulesh Lodhia, J M Hospitality
"I expected expertise and in-depth analysis presented in the feasibility study by HVS based on our research on HVS’s reputation in the industry. What I didn’t expect was Monique and Charlie’s commitment to our project over and beyond the scope of work. Time and again they have demonstrated through their action their genuine concern for my best interest. They even suggested professionals I should contact to push the project along. All this without any added personal benefit. For this reason I will not only exclusively use HVS for all my future projects but will gladly and strongly recommend HVS specifically Monique Rosszell to all my colleagues." – Alkarim, DMJ Group of Companies

Hotel Assets: The Dark Horse in Real Estate Investing
The real estate market is constantly evolving, influenced by economic factors and societal trends. Over the years, different real estate sectors have taken turns in the spotlight, with office and multi-family properties often seen as safe and stable investments. However, recent data suggests a changing landscape, with hotel assets emerging as a more attractive investment option. In this article, we will explore how real estate investment in the lodging sector is becoming more appealing.
Resurgence and Transformation of the Canadian Niagara Falls Hotel Market
The Niagara Falls lodging market is rapidly recovering after the devastating pandemic-induced RevPAR decline of 72.9% in 2020. The market-wide RevPAR has reached 97% of the 2019 level in 2022 and is projected to reach 112% in 2023. ADR growth is leading the recovery.
In Focus: Niagara Falls Area, Ontario, Canada
The Niagara Falls, ON, region is seeing another record-breaking year in RevPAR growth. The rise in occupancy and average daily rate is expected to continue with the persistence of the weak Canadian dollar and the rise in US/international travellers.
