Sun Communities (NYSE: SUI) has announced the sale of Safe Harbor Marinas to Blackstone Infrastructure for $5.65 billion in an all-cash transaction.

The strategic sale will reposition Sun as a pure-play MH and RV focused REIT, with these segments expected to account for about 90% of the Company's NOI post-transaction. The deal will significantly improve Sun's leverage profile, reducing its net debt to EBITDA ratio from 6.0x to between 2.5x and 3.0x at closing.
