AH Realty Trust sold two multifamily financing notes for $63 million, divesting its stakes in Solis North Creek and Solis Peachtree to streamline operations and exit its real estate financing program.

The move reflects a shift toward core retail and office portfolios, aiming to cut leverage and boost long-term shareholder value through higher-return assets. Shares fell 13.4% in the past month, underperforming the industry’s 7.9% decline, with the company holding a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell).
