Condor Hospitality Trust Closes Sale of Two Hotels as Part of Accelerated Strategy
NORFOLK, Neb., July 16, 2015-Condor Hospitality Trust, Inc. (NASDAQ), a real estate investment trust (REIT), announced today that it has closed on the previously announced sale of two hotels, a Comfort Inn Landmark and a Days Inn, both located in Alexandria, Va., for $19 million to Baywood Hotels, a privately held hotel ownership and management company. The company retired $8.3 million in debt and the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions.
"We have accelerated our initiative to recycle capital from our portfolio of economy and economy extended-stay hotels in order to reinvest the capital as we create a portfolio of newer premium-branded, upper midscale and upscale select-service, extended-stay and limited-service hotels located primarily in the nation's top 20-50 MSAs", said Bill Blackham, Condor's CEO. "We currently have 17 being marketed for consideration of being sold including the two Alexandria hotels that just closed. As the lodging industry continues to enjoy continued
expansion, the economy sector is now experiencing compression on rate with increased demand and that has expanded the buyer interest and hotel values in this segment".
"Condor has an active acquisition pipeline, and we anticipate continuing the accelerated pace of capital recycling which we project will further strengthen our balance sheet through debt reduction and increasing liquidity, thereby enhancing the strategy underway to significantly grow the company through acquiring a much higher quality portfolio with the objective of increasing shareholder value", Blackham concluded.
