“We are very excited to have acquired this unique, extremely well located asset,” Michael Barnello, president and CEO of LaSalle, said in a statement, according to a report from ABC News. He said constrained supply in the Key West area made the acquisition attractive.

The property containing the three lodges offers three pools, a tanning pier and a private beach, according to the Wall Street Journal. [ABC News] and [WSJ] — Guelda Voien
