By the Numbers: Which markets are most affected by Sonder’s liquidation sale?

Sonder, the short-term hospitality operator that recently filed for bankruptcy, is selling off its portfolio of leasehold interests in a slate of properties around the country — and no market will be more affected than New Orleans, Louisiana.

In the Big Easy, 32 of Sonder’s 189 leases, or almost 17 percent, are up for grabs, according to a list of the leases from global asset company Gordon Brothers, which is managing the sale.

Following New Orleans is Nashville, where Sonder has 17 leases. Philadelphia and New York City placed third and fourth, with 14 and 13 leases, respectively.
