ATLANTA, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vaycaychella, Inc. (OTC Pink: VAYK) ("VAYK") today announces that it has renewed the joint-venture agreement to renovate and operate Rufus Rose House, the only standing Victorian mansion in downtown Atlanta, which has 123 years of history and is a National Register of Historic Place. The property currently has a cost value of $2.1 million, and is anticipated to reach a market value of $5 - 8 million upon completion of renovation.
20% Sweet Equity on $5-8 Million Airbnb Property
Under the renewed JV agreement, VAYK will continue to manage the renovation of this historic landmark into a boutique, multi-unit short-term rental (Airbnb etc.) property. VAYK is entitled to a 20% "sweet equity" of the JV, and will receive more equity proportionally when it raises capital for the JV.
"Rufus Rose House is a unique historic treasure and has unrivaled value as a short-term rental, "says Stephanie Anderl, interim CEO of Vaycaychella. "Not only its stunning and aged beauty, both interior and exterior, will appeal to tourists and vacationists who appreciate its antique value, but also its ideal location -- sitting in the busiest street, only one block from the tallest downtown building (the Bank of American Tower), and within walk distance to numerous attractions including the historic Fox Theater – promises a future for it to become the most sought-after Airbnb place in downtown Atlanta."
"Most Sought-After Airbnb Place" to Be Completed Prior to FIFA 2026
In the year 2023, 71.3 million visitors set their feet in downtown Atlanta.
Tourism to Atlanta is expected to explode as the city will host FIFA 2026 world cup. Soccer is the most popular sports in the world and FIFA world cup is the most important event of soccer, held only once every 4 years. VAYK aims to complete the renovation of Rufus Rose House and put it into operation prior to FIFA 2026.
$157 million Federal Funds granted to Nearby Neighborhoods
In addition, the city of Atlanta has started a grand project with $157 million of federal funds, called "the Stitch", which is only two blocks from Rufus Rose House. The Stitch (https://thestitchatl.com/) is a transformational civic infrastructure investment committed to reconnect Downtown and Midtown Atlanta. Once implemented, the Stitch will create approximately 14 acres of urban greenspace and transportation enhancements atop a new, 3/4-mile platform spanning the Downtown Connector between Ted Turner Drive and Piedmont Avenue. The Stitch is expected to stimulate $2-3 billion in private real estate investments in surrounding neighborhoods.
