Blue Back Square for sale

West Hartford, Conn. (WTNH) - Blue Back Square, West Hartford's upscale retail and commercial jewel, is for sale.

The principal owner of Blue Back Square, Ronus Properties, is "looking to sell all of its U.S. real estate portfolio," including Blue Back, Ron Van Winkle, West Hartford's town manager, said Tuesday.

Rick Langhorne, the president of Atlanta-based Ronus Properties, said the owner of Ronus "is European and as part of his global strategy he's decided to exit the U.S. — that's all I know."

Ronus has retained Eastdil Secured, a real estate investment banking company, to market its U.S. holdings, which, aside from Blue Back Square, include shopping centers in Texas, Atlanta, Tennessee and North Carolina.
