Franklin BSP Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: FBRT) (“FBRT” or the “Company”) today announced the successful completion of the sale of the Williamsburg Hotel, the Company’s Brooklyn hotel asset, by a trustee appointed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The purchaser of the hotel was selected after a multi-month marketing process. The sale closed for a total sale price of $96 million, comprising cash and new indebtedness. As a result of the sale, the Company has recovered the full principal amount of its loan (equal to the carrying cost of the loan as of December 31, 2022) and approximately $20 million of additional proceeds after the payment of all related closing expenses.
