Assurant to sell Miami campus for $126 million; Q4 catastrophe losses $50 million
Assurant said it expects about $50 million pre-tax, or $40 million after-tax, in reportable catastrophe losses for fourth quarter 2024, which is more favorable than early estimates given on its third quarter call. The company also agreed to sell its Miami, Florida campus for $126 million, subject to buyer development approvals that could take 18 to 24 months, and it expects California wildfires to be a reportable catastrophe in first quarter 2025.
