Strategic Realty Trust‘s path to loss recovery has entered a crucial phase. The publicly registered non-traded REIT stands at a turning point with its recent sale of the Silverlake Collection for $12.4 million in cash.
We have seen major changes unfold since last fall, starting with Domenic Lanni stepping in as CEO and Whitney Robinette joining as COO. The company’s strategic moves include selling five operating properties in San Francisco and clearing all outstanding debts, such as the $8.7 million loan to PHP Holding Company VI, LLC.
These actions mark significant steps in the REIT’s dissolution plan, set to take effect around February 26, 2025. The timing matters greatly for investors as the REIT will stop recording stock transfers on February 21, 2025.
After paying roughly $1.4 million in closing costs for the Silverlake sale, the company plans to make a final liquidating distribution to shareholders. The exact distribution date remains open.
