The Parking REIT Sells Two Adjacent Surface Lots in Kansas City, Missouri for $4 Million

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Parking REIT, Inc. announced today its disposition of two surface parking lots in Kansas City, Missouri for a combined total of $4 million. The properties were originally purchased in August 2013 and October 2015 by MVP REIT, Inc. and MVP REIT II, Inc., respectively, for a combined total of $2.1 million. They were later acquired by The Parking REIT, Inc. for approximately $2.8 million based upon the allocation of the merger consideration for the merger of MVP REIT, Inc. and MVP REIT II, Inc. in December 2017.

"These properties were sold for approximately 94 percent higher value than their original purchase price, which provides value to the REIT and its investors," said Mike Shustek, chief executive officer of The Parking REIT. "In addition to their location next to city hall in downtown Kansas City, the two lots benefited from their adjacency to one another, which we believe made them an attractive combined sale."

Mr. Shustek added, "The sale further exemplifies The Parking REIT's strategy to acquire income-producing parking facilities in well-located areas that are expected to increase in value over time through proper management and market demographics, and to ultimately sell each property at a time when it most benefits investors."

The surface parking lots were sold to Block 66, LLC.

The sale included:

• 1130 Holmes St., a 1.18-acre surface lot striped with 164 spaces, and
• 1101 Cherry St., a 0.6-acre surface parking lot striped with 84 spaces.

In the last year, The Parking REIT has sold five properties consisting of 747 parking spaces situated on 4.63 acres of land, including one property sold prior to the merger of MVP REIT and MVP REIT II. The five properties sold for a total of $14.5 million, an approximately 65 percent increase in aggregate value from their original purchase price.  

The Parking REIT's portfolio currently consists of 42 parking facilities located in 17 states with a total of approximately 11,280 parking spaces.
