Westgate Entertainment District has a new owner.
Bob Parsons, the founder of GoDaddy and owner of YAM Properties, a commercial real estate company in Phoenix, bought the 76-acre property for $133 million, his company announced on Tuesday.
The previous owner, iStar, put the property up for sale in April. The initial asking price was $142 million.
“The potential at Westgate is huge,” said Bob Parsons in a written statement. “Westgate currently offers visitors a wide variety of entertainment options, but we’re looking to develop features that will entice even more visitors and residents to this unique and vibrant Valley location.”
