By GlobalDataSunstone president and CEO John Arabia said: “Leveraging our industry relationships, we acquired the Resort on an off-market basis and at a discount to what it would cost to develop today.
“The acquisition is consistent with our stated tactics of acquiring LTRR in the early phases of a cyclical recovery and putting to work a portion of our excess liquidity, all while maintaining financial flexibility and access to capital to fund incremental external growth.
“Additionally, we are funding 25% of the transaction with attractively structured perpetual preferred equity that is being issued directly to the Seller that aligns our interests and gives us additional optionality.”
