These two former college roommates turned business partners are making big moves in their careers in real estate. This week, Atlanta-based entrepreneurs Davonne Reaves and Jessica Myers celebrated a big career milestone with the recent acquisition of the Home2 Suites by Hilton in El Reno, Oklahoma through their millennial-driven hotel ownership group.
The deal was done in partnership with Nassau Investments and is valued at $8.3 million, also making Myers and Reaves the youngest Black women to ever co-own a property under a major hotel chain. The property is the first acquisition under the Epiq Collective, Myers and Reaves’ real estate company to work on commercial spaces.
“I never thought by the time I was 33 that I’d be a hotel owner, but I admit that it feels great to have accomplished that at this point in my life,” says Reaves about the career milestone to Black News. “Making history in the process, well that’s just icing on the cake!”
The Georiga State University alums always dreamed of owning their own hotel property since their days together on campus. Reaves worked her way up through the industry starting as a front desk agent for the Hyatt Regency Atlanta before progressing up the corporate ladder and later relocating to Boston.
Reaves recounts the day telling her business partners about the property and how the date also falls on the birthday of her late grandmother who passed away one year ago this month. “I told our team of investors that I wanted to own this hotel by February 6th. That’s my grandmother’s birthday and coincidentally it’s Jessica’s birthday too. Knowing that I’ve done that, just gives me chills!” says Myers to Black News. “We’re so proud to bring that ‘Black girl magic’ to the commercial real estate industry; this is just the beginning!”
