Blackstone offered $14.25 a share in cash for Strategic, about 13% more than the unaffected intraday trading price on July 23, when Bloomberg reported on a potential transaction for the Chicago-based real estate investment trust. The firm also will buy the outstanding units of a subsidiary, Strategic Hotels Funding LLC, not held by the company.
