CASPER, WY. (AP) — The Parkway Plaza hotel in Casper has a new owner after being sold at a sheriff’s auction.

GreenLake Real Estate Fund bid $15.5 million Thursday at a foreclosure sale to purchase the property.

There were no other bidders for the hotel during the public auction, which was held in the entryway of the Natrona County Courthouse. About 20 people attended and Natrona County Sheriff’s Deputy Jay Snider served as the auctioneer.

A copy of the certificate of sale says the amount due on the mortgage as of the date of sale was $21,491,957.
