Analysis · ELME · Real Estate & Construction
The $250 million sale of Riverside Apartments closed on September 14, 2026, with $198.6 million of the proceeds used to repay the Goldman Sachs term loan in full and release all mortgages on remaining properties. This transaction advances the liquidation plan, leaving only two properties — 3801 Connecticut Avenue and The Kenmore — expected to close in late September or early October. Pro forma net assets in liquidation remain $167.7 million, consistent with the prior estimate of $16.41–$16.61 per share, but the debt repayment removes a key overhang and simplifies the final distribution process.
