Ashford is currently in negotiations to sell the office structure. It will invest $5.7 million to renovate the hotel in the third quarter of the year. This was a cash transaction. The purchase of both properties equates to a trailing 12-month multiple of 7.6x and a yield of 13.2% in earnings before taxes, depreciation and amortization. Following the sale of the office property, Ashford expects to improve to a trailing 12-month EBTIDA multiple of below 6.5x and a yield of 15.5%.
