Its partner is KSL Recreation Corp., also known as KSL Capital Partners.

The new transaction values the asset at a gross value of approximately $787.0 million, net of approximately $18.0 million of cash currently held at the property and within the joint venture, and includes the assumption of the existing $475.0 million mortgage financing.
