Hunter Hotel Advisors has been exclusively engaged to market the 63-room, 2-story Fairfield Inn Muncie (the “Hotel”). The property is available via the RI Marketplace Auction taking place on December 15th to 17th. The Hotel represents a rare opportunity to acquire an institutionally owned, Marriott- branded asset being offered below replacement cost in a high-growth Midwestern market. The Hotel is strategically located less than 2 miles from Ball State University and proximate to major corporate and healthcare demand generators including IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, First Merchants Corporation’ s headquarters, and Magna Powertrain. The Hotel is currently managed by an institutional third-party operator and is being offered with management availability, allowing an investor to implement enhanced revenue management strategies and cost control initiatives to increase flow through to the bottom line.

Muncie is a mid-sized city with a population exceeding 65,000, located approximately 60 miles northeast of Indianapolis. The city serves as the cultural, educational, and economic hub of East Central Indiana, anchored by a diverse mix of institutions in education, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. A central pillar of Muncie’ s economy is Ball State University, a leading public research institution with over 20,000 students and 3,000 faculty members. The University continues to drive growth and innovation, with more than $100 million in active campus investments currently under construction. Its academic influence and consistent stream of university-related activity generate significant economic and housing demand throughout the region.

Another major economic anchor is IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, a 350-bed facility employing 250 physicians. As a tertiary referral center, it serves a regional population base of approximately 500,000 patients across 10 surrounding counties. The hospital is recognized for its advanced healthcare services and its integral role in supporting Muncie’s medical community. Corporate demand in the area is led by First Merchants Corporation (NYSE: FRME), which maintains its headquarters in Muncie. The financial institution employs roughly 2,200 people and is one of Indiana’s largest publicly traded banking corporations. Complementing the city’ s economic landscape are major industrial employers such as Magna Powertrain and Maxon Corporation, both of which contribute to Muncie’s strong manufacturing presence.
