CHATHAM LODGING TRUST
WEST PALM BCH, FLORIDA

Founded on a sunny day in Florida-August 10, 2012-Chatham Lodging Trust is all about making smart real estate moves. This hotel-focused REIT has one goal: to deliver sweet returns for its shareholders by investing wisely in properties that are set up to perform well financially. They're not just after profit; they're committed to paying dividends and growing value over the long haul, too. Jeffrey H. Fisher is at the helm as CEO, and he's got some serious background cred. Before joining Chatham Lodging Trust, Jeff was the big boss of Innkeepers USA Trust-a name on the NYSE-and led it through a successful run from 2010 to 2013. Under his leadership, Chatham has become known for its clever ways of finding, buying, and managing hotel properties. These tactics aren't just lucky guesses; they're well-informed moves in collaboration with Island Hospitality, a company that knows the hospitality business inside out. If you’re wondering about numbers and performance, take note: since 2010, Chatham's portfolio has had the highest operating margins among lodging REITs. That fact alone speaks volumes about their knack for picking quality assets and managing them like pros. Leadership is a big deal at Chatham Lodging Trust, and they don't skimp on getting advice from people who've been in the game before. They have five folks on their board who used to be trustees at Innkeepers USA Trust, so you know they're learning from some seasoned experts. For those curious minds, Chatham's main office is tucked into Suite 200 at 222 Lakeview Avenue in West Palm Beach, FL.
