and access,
Aldo Rotondi began his business career in 1986 with his private architectural design/build company; Rotondi Design & Associates. For 6 years with his design team, he was involved in all aspects of development from commercial developments to residential condominium developments both in the US and Canada. His last design/build project that he was involved with was to redevelop a motel and convert it to an new Super 8 Motel franchise. This project sparked Mr. Rotondi's focus to develop Super 8 Motels in Eastern Canada. With 2 other partners, CF Hospitality, Inc. was started whereby the company now owned the franchise rights to the Super 8 Motel chain for Eastern Canada. Mr. Rotondi was Vice President of Development for CF and helped the grow the chain from 2 properties in Eastern Canada to 25 franchised properties. Of these franchised properties, 9 properties were corporately owned by CF Hospitality. In 1997 a buyout of CF Hospitality's corporate properties by Westmont Hospitality turned Mr. Rotondi's focus to joining a new startup development company called Royop Hospitality Corporation. Royop became a publicly listed company on the Toronto Stock Exchange that now held the rights to the franchise rights to the Super 8 Motel chain for all of Canada as well as the franchise rights to Wingate Inns. By working with Cendant Corporation, Royop expanded its Super 8 franchise base from 28 Super 8 properties to over 60 franchised properties where Mr. Rotondi oversaw Super 8 franchise developments for Royop Corporation. In 2000 Mr. Rotondi left Royop Corporation; which was later acquired by a US REIT; to focus on his business ventures with Airam Capital Group, Inc. that was founded in 1999. During Aldo’s involvement with ACI, he has assisted in the development of companies in the healthcare related sector, mining and exploration, software development, payment processing companies, environmental sector companies and other emerging growth companies looking to expand their reach.
