Southfield, MI, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sun Communities, Inc.

We are proud of what we built together and wish the team continued success in this next chapter under Aermont’s ownership. The sale of Park Holidays positions Sun to execute on our strategy of driving long-term, durable growth through our best-in-class North American MH and RV platform, backed by a flexible, low-leverage balance sheet."
