Stratus Properties Inc. (NASDAQ: STRS) (“Stratus”) and Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (“Ryman”) announced today that the anticipated closing date for the previously announced sale of Block 21 by Stratus to Ryman has been extended, as the parties complete the process of obtaining the remaining required approvals of the assumption of the property’s existing mortgage loan by the purchaser.

The acquisition is now expected to close sometime prior to June 1, 2022, subject to the timely satisfaction or waiver of various closing conditions, including the final consent of the loan servicers to the assumption of the existing loan by the purchaser, the consent of the hotel operator, an affiliate of Marriott, to the assumption of the hotel operating agreement by the purchaser, the absence of a material adverse effect, and other customary closing conditions.

Block 21 is Stratus’ wholly owned mixed-use development in downtown Austin, Texas, that contains the W Austin Hotel and office, retail and entertainment space, including the ACL Live at Moody Theater concert venue.
