Blackstone (NYSE: BX) acquired Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor from Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) for $200 million. Allegiant Travel is the holding company that owns the airline with the same name. Blackstone’s Scott Trebilco said, “The acquisition of this brand new, highly amenitized resort demonstrates our strong conviction in hospitality and travel and the continued growth in group-oriented destinations.” Allegiant says it plans to use the proceeds from the sale to repay debt and strengthen its balance sheet.
