Allegiant selling majority interest in Port Charlotte Sunseeker resort

Allegiant Travel Co. is selling “at least” a majority of its stake in its year-old Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor and may already be fielding potential offers.

The Las Vegas company announced the news Tuesday afternoon in its fourth quarter and end-of-year earnings statement.

Gregory Anderson, Allegiant’s president and CEO, says in the report that the company has “progressed meaningfully with our comprehensive review of Sunseeker Resort” that was initiated late last year and has decided to launch a competitive process to sell a majority — or more — of its interest.
