how we generate publicity

Columbus, Ohio-based RockBridge Capital was among Identity's first clients. Over the past decade, we have been proud to grow along with them. Today, RockBridge stands as one of largest and most respected capital providers to the hospitality industry.

In a recent article, leading national industry trade publication Hotel Business featured the company in a profile cover story. The article discusses the recent addition of a top-level executive to the management team and explores how the company is dealing with the current economic challenges facing the industry.

In the article, RockBridge President James Merkel explains how. “We're moving forward,” he said. “We have a great foundation and strong operating partners. We feel we're capitalized in such a way that we’ll manage through this downturn, and it's actually a blessing for us because, at the end of the day, it's going to create a tremendous amount of opportunity.

RockBridge provides capital to the hospitality industry through its RockBridge Hospitality Funds and First Mortgage Investment Program. The principals of RockBridge have formed and managed nine investment funds totaling nearly $1 billion across multiple platforms with both institutional and private investors. Focused on creating value for their hotel operating partners, RockBridge invests first mortgage, mezzanine and equity capital in hotels throughout the U.S. Since 1992, RockBridge has invested in over 325 assets nationwide with aggregate transaction capitalization of nearly $5 billion.
