NEW YORK (Jan. 11, 2017) – AWH Partners, LLC, a privately held real estate investment, development and management firm, is pleased to announce the hiring of Timothy Osiecki as President of AWH Development, a new role at AWH. Osiecki will assume the day-to-day development responsibilities of the founding partners of AWH, enabling the company to deliver development services at an even higher level and freeing the partners to focus on the growth of the larger AWH platform.

“After an extensive nationwide search, we identified Tim as absolutely best-in-class to lead our hospitality development business,” says Chad Cooley, managing partner, AWH Partners, LLC. “His impressive experience in design, construction, major renovations, brand conversions and adaptive use projects make him the perfect fit to raise the bar in our Development division as we continue to grow AWH into an industry leader.”

While with Concord Hospitality, Osiecki directed the design and construction of over 15,000 hotel rooms in overseeing all major renovations, brand conversions and adaptive use projects for Concord. He led the design and development of the first LEED certified Courtyard by Marriott prototype hotel and received Marriott’s first Icon Award for creating new innovative ways to enhance brand design. He also received the "Design Excellence" award from Marriott for leading the design of the Gen IV SpringHill Suites prototype.

Osiecki began his career as a custom homebuilder for eight years prior to joining Concord Hospitality. He is a long-standing member of Design and Construction Committees for Marriott and the former Starwood. He has worked across all the major brands to deliver award-winning hotels.

“We look forward to having Tim lead the team as we continue to expand our development business,” says Russ Flicker, managing partner, AWH Partners, LLC. “His wheelhouse of knowledge across many different brands and property types will be a great asset to our current and future portfolio of owned and managed properties.”
