What's Going On With Blackstone Stock Today?

Turtle Bay Resort has 450 rooms on 1,300 acres along the North Shore of O’ahu and boasts a variety of top-tier amenities. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024.

Blackstone bought the hotel in 2018 for $332 million and invested significant capital in renovations.

The team executed an ambitious business plan, investing significant capital to reposition the resort for long-term success while also adding high-quality jobs on the North Shore.”

In a separate transaction, Areté Collective, a vertically integrated development company known for sustainable development practices, disclosed the closing of a transaction to purchase 65 acres of land at Turtle Bay on O‘ahu’s North Shore.

Including both deals, Blackstone expects to generate sale proceeds of $768 million.
