Who we are
Hospitality, run by the people who own it.
Lorient owns and operates places people want to stay: boutique hotels, a forty-one-bedroom retreat and a furnished townhouse. Every decision starts with the guest’s experience and the long-term value of the property.
What sets us apart is how we run them. We build our own tools in house, drawing on data from every property we operate and from FIND’s 1,500 agents. That lets us price rooms every night, answer guests at any hour, underwrite a new property in hours, and see opportunities before they reach the market. A small team, operating like a much larger one.
Adam Mahfouda, Founder & Managing Partner
What sets us apart
01
Hospitality first
We buy, reposition and operate hotels and short-stay assets in supply-constrained urban markets. Square 42 in Midtown Manhattan is run by our own team, and it sets the standard for what we acquire next.
02
Sourced through 1,500 agents
Our founder leads FIND Real Estate, a 1,500-agent brokerage platform in New York City. It gives us current, proprietary, actionable data and a first look at buildings before they are marketed.
03
Vertically integrated
Developer, broker, property manager and hotel operator, all in house, with construction oversight on every project. Overhead that would normally erode investor returns is absorbed by businesses we already run.
Our platforms
Three platforms. One operating system.
Square42 runs our city hotels, Moofy’s runs our retreats, and FIND Real Estate sources our deals. All three run on the same data, models and tools, so what one learns, the others use.
