Apple Core Holdings

Apple Core Holdings, founded in 1995, is a privately held company with investments across a range of verticals. From our humble beginnings in the early 90’s, we at ACH have always invested our own money. That means we get to operate using our self-imposed guidelines and judgments rather than strict rules around the investment process and checklists. It also means we can act fast and be opportunistic. Our first business unit was Apple Core Hotels, a collection of New York City hotels that we operated with great success from the 90s through the first decade of 2000. We began exiting that business as it became less profitable stemming from distribution changes caused by the internet, an influx of new hotel inventory built after the 2008 financial crisis, and inherent limitations of NYC union hotels. As we sold our hotel portfolio starting in 2015 and completing the exit in 2021, we’ve replaced those properties by rolling into some great real estate assets across the country. After 30 years of working together, we continue to live our investment lives seeking profits as the primary goal, but put much weight on doing interesting things with exceptional people we like to be around. Those values have led us on a journey over the last three decades seeking opportunistic investments with asymmetric risk/return dynamics.
