On Friday, the Atlanta Dream announced that co-owners Mary Brock and Kelly Loeffler have sold the team to Larry Gottesdiener, chairman of Northland, a leading national real estate firm.

Gottesdiener along with former Dream star Renee Montgomery and Northland President and Chief Operating Officer Suzanne Abair will make up a three-member investor group. The breakdown of their shares as well as the team’s financial valuation is currently confidential. However, Gottesdiener is a majority owner of the team.

“It is a privilege to join a team of inspiring women who strive for excellence on the court and equity off the court,” Gottesdiener said in a statement.
