Current AFRC accommodations in Garmisch consist of 179 rooms contained in three lodging facilities. Additionally, two hotels are located at Lake Chiemsee, approximately 140 kms (87 miles) from Garmisch, containing 156 guestrooms. The new hotel would replace all currently operating AFRC lodging facilities in Garmisch and Chiemsee. Preliminary market analysis has indicated the demand for a three to four hundred room facility. The facility would be located on 27.7 acres of land currently referred to as the Sheridan Barracks, on the western edge of the City of Garmisch. CFSC is seeking private capital to fund this project and therefore, desires an obligation on the part of the offeror to finance all facility requirements in return for opportunities created by closing of the other properties and the operation of the new facility.
