The Upper Dublin real estate tied to Lulu Country Club failed to sell at an auction arranged by Montgomery County Sheriff’s office on December 2 and the lender has now formally taken ownership of the property, writes Natalie Kostelni for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

The property had a $14.98 million minimum bid price which was not low enough to entice anybody to submit a bid.

“Since it did not receive any bids, the property now goes back to the plaintiff, LT-Lulu LP,” said Jesse Loomis, CEO of Bid4Assets.

LT-Lulu will finalize its ownership over the property after it receives the deed within the next 30 days.

“All of the claims and debts are wiped out and LT-Lulu will continue to operate it,” said Daniel J. Dugan, an attorney with Spector Gadon Rosen. “From a members point of view, it will be a seamless transition.”

The sheriff sale was a tactical maneuver to remove other claims and debts that other entities may have had against the property. Therefore any liens against the real estate are now gone.
