(NASDAQ:CDOR), a hotel-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) headquartered and incorporated in the state of Maryland, today announced the closing on the sale of a legacy asset, the 62-room Comfort Suites located at 1345 North Baldwin Avenue, Marion, IN 46952 for $3.0 million. The net proceeds from the sale will be used for general corporate purposes and for future acquisitions of hotels that meet the Company’s new investment strategy.
“Year-to-date, Condor has now sold 21 legacy hotels, generating $50.9 million in gross proceeds,” said Bill Blackham, Condor’s Chief Executive Officer. “We currently have signed contracts to sell 3 additional legacy hotels although there can be no guarantee that all of these transactions will actually close. We anticipate selling at least 23 legacy hotels in 2016 with the net sales proceeds expected to be reinvested into higher quality, select-service lodging assets such as the downtown Atlanta Aloft acquired in August and the Aloft Leawood in Kansas City, KS that we expect to acquire before the end of 2016,” Mr. Blackham continued.
