Toronto-based Skyline International Development Inc. has bought the hotel, restaurants and shops of the historic Cleveland Arcade, which also feature a 10-year-old, 293-room Hyatt Regency.
Skyline acquired the property at auction for $7.7-million USD after previous owners invested $70-million USD in buying and restoring the Arcade, including converting office towers to the hotel, and then defaulted on the mortgage.
“Cleveland is a relatively nearby destination for us, and a city that’s definitely on the move,” said Skyline CEO Michael Sneyd.
Company founder and president Gil Blutrich cites the combination of over $2-billion USD in public and private investment that will see a new convention centre, medical mart and the Horseshoe Casino all open in downtown Cleveland by 2013, plus discussions around improving the city’s transportation infrastructure, as compelling reasons to invest there.
