Sai Ocean Front Residences is set to start construction this summer. The low-rise luxury development will occupy the site of the Gulf Towers Motel, which was demolished in February 2023.
The Gulfstream Hotel’s renovation and expansion are just one step closer to reality, with construction having already started on the first phase. Our sources indicate that the historic hotel, erected in 1925, was mostly “gutted” for the past few years.
Related Group and GTIS Partners have secured a $328 million construction loan for the Baccarat Residences Miami, a 75-story luxury condominium tower at the gateway of Brickell Avenue. The financing, arranged by Berkadia South Florida, supports the development of the 848-foot-tall skyscraper, which is currently under construction at 99 Southeast 5th Street and is expected to be completed in early 2028. Over 95 percent of the residences have been sold since the launch in late 2021. John Moriarty & Associates is the general contractor.
Contractors have officially broken ground on Origin Residences by Artefacto, a luxury housing development in the Bay Harbor Islands.
Oak Row Equities has closed on a $181M construction loan from Bank OZK for 2600 Biscayne Boulevard, a 41-story Class AAA office and multifamily tower in Miami’s rapidly-maturing Edgewater submarket. This transaction is one of the largest mixed-used construction loans to close in South Florida in the past year. Newmark’s Dustin Stolly, Jordan Roeschlaub, Chris Kramer, and Daniel Matz arranged the financing. Remarkably, 50% of 2600 Biscayne’s office and retail space was pre-leased before breaking ground, marking it as one of Miami’s most pre-leased new construction office buildings.
