The Parking REIT Sells Two Adjacent Surface Lots in Kansas City, Missouri

The Parking REIT Inc., a publicly registered, non-traded real estate investment trust formerly known as MVP REIT II Inc., has sold two surface parking lots in Kansas City, Missouri to Block 66 LLC for a combined $4 million.

The Parking REIT Inc., a publicly registered, non-traded real estate investment trust formerly known as MVP REIT II Inc., has sold two surface parking lots in Kansas City, Missouri to Block 66 LLC for a combined $4 million. The sale included a 1.2-acre surface lot with 164 spaces, and a 0.6-acre surface parking lot with 84 spaces.

The properties were originally purchased in August 2013 and October 2015 by MVP REIT and MVP REIT II, respectively, for a combined $2.1 million. They were later acquired by The Parking REIT for approximately $2.8 million based upon the allocation of the merger consideration for the merger of MVP REIT and MVP REIT II 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.”

The company noted that in the last year, it has sold five properties for a total of $14.5 million, an approximately 65 percent increase in total value from their original purchase price.

The Parking REIT primarily invests in parking lots and garages in the United States and oversees a portfolio of 42 parking facilities located in 17 states. The Parking REIT is managed by MVP Realty Advisors.
