NEW YORK CITY-LaSalle Hotel Properties, a Bethesda, MD-based lodging REIT, rang in the New Year by closing on its acquisition of the Park Central Hotel, a 934-key hotel at 870 7th Ave. in Midtown, for $396.2 million, a $9.3 million reduction from its original purchase and sale agreement of $405.5 million in June 2011. The deal, which was expected to close by the third quarter 2011, required extra review due to the large nature of the transaction.

“The seller needed additional time to work things out,” Michael Barnello, president and CEO of LaSalle Hotel Properties, tells GlobeSt.com.
