On behalf of The Related Group (Related), Newmark has arranged a $72.8 million loan to finance the construction of Wynwood 29, a mixed-use residential/retail asset situated on a 1.3-acre site in Miami, FL. The Newmark team was led by Dustin Stolly and Jordan Roeschlaub, Vice Chairmen and Co-Heads of the New York Debt & Structured Finance team, along with Senior Managing Directors Chris Kramer and Nick Scribani, Associate Director Don Pavlov and Associate Dominick Calisto. The loan was provided by Cerberus.
Located in the heart of Wynwood, the rapidly evolving neighborhood known as Miami’s centerpiece for arts and entertainment, the asset has a prime location near Midtown and Downtown Miami, the Miami Design District, Miami Beach and Miami International Airport. Once complete, the property will feature 248 luxury apartments, resort-style amenities, a 281-car garage and 26,650 rentable square feet of retail space located on the ground floor. The highly-amenitized residential component will include an expansive pool deck with outdoor kitchen, a world-class fitness center, generous co-working spaces and bike storage. In line with Related’s other projects in the area, Wynwood 29 is expected to be in a class of its own in Wynwood, as the district’s limited housing stock consists predominantly of 1950’s and 1960’s vintage low-density buildings averaging less than ten total units per building.
“Lenders showed highly competitive interest in Wynwood 29, indicative of the tremendous demand associated with one of the hottest markets in the US,” Stolly commented. “By leveraging this demand, we were able to achieve great execution for all parties involved.”
Roeschlaub added, “We were pleased to pair Cerberus up with an incredibly savvy sponsor and look forward to being a part of the relationship for years to come.”
For more than 40 years, Related Group has been elevating city skylines with developments characterized by innovative design and enduring quality and fostering environments that celebrate culture and active lifestyles.
“Marking Related’s fourth deal in the area, Wynwood 29 further demonstrates our commitment to Wynwood’s continued renaissance,” said Jon Paul Pérez, President of Related. “We are proud to play a part in the collaborative efforts to bring new energy to the neighborhood as we focus our investment and attention to delivering another true live-work-play residential community as vibrant as Wynwood is.”
