Declining Ty Warner Hotels cash flow derails loan extension

With occupancies plummeting at four of his luxury hotels, Beanie Baby mogul Ty Warner is struggling to extend a $345 million securitized mortgage for the hotels. The properties are the New York Four Seasons, the Four Seasons Biltmore and the San Ysidro Ranch, both in Santa Barbara, Calif., and the Las Ventanas resort in Mexico's Baja California. The properties have failed to meet the $44.6 million annual cash flow needed to qualify for a one-year extension on the loan.
