OKO Group And Cain International Get $97.2 Million In Construction Financing For 34-Story One River In Fort Lauderdale

OKO Group and Cain International have secured $97.2 million in construction financing for their next joint venture development: One River, a new 34-story luxury multifamily tower located addressed as 629 Southeast 5th Avenue in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Financing is broken down into two loans, a senior construction loan provided by Bank OZK, and a mezzanine construction loan provided by JVP Management, which will fund the construction of the tower. One River will encompass 251 high-end apartments, 2,600 square feet of ground level retail space and a six-level 337-space parking garage on a 0.77-acre property. Vertical construction is scheduled to begin this summer, with delivery expected September 2024.

One River was designed by internationally acclaimed architecture firm Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture – whose design portfolio comprises some of the tallest landmark towers from across the globe, including the world’s tallest building, the 2,722-foot-tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai, New York City’s 1,550-foot-tall Central Park Tower, and the soon-to-be world’s tallest building, the 1,000-meter Jeddah Tower in Saudi Arabia – alongside local architect of record Dorsky + Yue International Architecture.

Well-appointed apartments will range from studios to three-bedroom units, measuring between 607 and 1,511 square feet in size. All units will boast high-end finishes, top-of-the line appliances, and expansive balconies featuring unobstructed east-facing river and ocean views.

Residents will have exclusive access to a resort-style rooftop pool deck and over 13,000 square feet of amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center with Yoga, Spinning and Pilates rooms, a spa with sauna and steam facilities, outdoor fitness deck, barbecue terrace, media room, lounge/game room, and a private kitchen/dining room. Residents will also enjoy a luxury hotel-style lobby, coworking lounge, package room, bike room and a dog spa.
