St. Louis, Mo. (July 16, 2018) –The Parking REIT, Inc. announced today its disposition of two surface lots in St. Louis, Missouri for a combined total of $8.5 million. The properties were originally purchased in May and June, 2015 by MVP REIT, Inc. for a combined total of approximately $6 million, and later acquired by The Parking REIT, Inc. for approximately $6.8 million based upon the allocation of the merger consideration for the merger of MVP REIT, Inc. and MVP REIT II, Inc in December 2017.
