Pebblebrook Hotel Trust sold the 934-key Park Central Hotel at 870 Seventh Avenue late last month as part of a portfolio of properties it unloaded following its acquisition of LaSalle Hotel Properties, as The Real Deal reported.
Highgate brought in Cerberus Capital as an equity partner on the deal, according to Real Estate Alert.
