The Firm recently represented Blackstone in connection with the sale of the Grande Lakes Orlando Resort to a newly-formed joint venture among funds managed by Trinity Real Estate Investments LLC and funds managed by Elliott Management Corporation. The 409-acre luxury complex includes two hotels – a 582-key Ritz-Carlton and a 998-key JW Marriott.
