Given their track record investing in experiential real estate brands, we are thrilled to partner with EPR Properties, fueling new growth, bringing the Gravity Haus platform to new locations, and continuing to build our community of members."

Gravity Haus, based in Colorado, is built on an innovative membership model where members can access all Gravity Haus properties, whether they are guests or not, and enjoy modern coworking spaces, gyms; complete with functional and personalized fitness classes; world-class dining options, spas and a community of like-minded members. Members get discounts on hotel stays, on-demand gear rentals and access to events and programming. Non-members are able to book and stay at the hotel properties and enjoy most amenities.

In the four years since its inception, Gravity Haus has assembled an impressive portfolio of locations in Breckenridge, Vail, Winter Park, Truckee, Aspen and Steamboat Springs. Looking ahead, the company plans to add new locations in adventure destinations, as well as urban outposts intended to support its growing community of more than 4,500 members.

In addition to the existing real estate assets, the new Platform has improved access to additional equity capital from existing and new investors that is further supported by the potential for additional capital from EPR to capture the growth opportunity and execute future property acquisitions. The platform fund will continue to acquire properties and manage assets that offer attractive risk adjusted returns supported by Gravity Haus' operating business model.

With a track record of assisting experiential brands scale, EPR is an ideal partner to fuel the next phase Gravity Haus' growth.
