Morguard to Sell 14 Canadian Hotels for $410M
Morguard has agreed to sell a portfolio of 14 Canadian hotels for $410 million.
The 2,248-room portfolio contains Marriott, Hilton, IHG and independent hotels in major urban centres, including the Greater Toronto Area, Ottawa, Halifax and Sudbury, Ont. The largest asset is the 424-room Toronto Airport Marriott.
Mississauga, Ont.-based Morguard announced the deal in a news release but did not provide information on any buyers. The agreement is unconditional and aligns with Morguard’s commitment to optimize its real estate portfolio by focusing on core real estate investments, including office, industrial, retail and multi-suite residential properties, the company said.
“Morguard has strategically divested our hotel portfolio to align with our objectives of strengthening the company’s balance sheet while owning a high-quality portfolio of income-producing real estate,” said Rai Sahi, Morguard’s chairman and CEO.
The deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.
Morguard will retain ownership of the dual-brand Hilton Garden Inn and Homewood Suites in Ottawa and the Inn at the Quay in New Westminster, B.C.
