The 48-Story Five Park Locks Town $345 Million Construction Loan In South Beach

The developers of Five Park, a 48-story residential tower coming to the entrance of South Beach at 500 Alton Road, has locked down a $345 million construction loan. The loan is the largest residential construction loan to be funded in South Florida since the pandemic took hold and is being provided by Blackstone and Apollo. Five Park is being developed by a partnership between Terra, led by David Martin, and the Galbut Family Office in partnership with New Valley. The 519-foot development will become the tallest building in Miami Beach upon its completion in 2023.

“Miami Beach is well-positioned for long-term growth as a global gateway city, with continued demand coming from both foreign and domestic buyers. Five Park is poised to become the address of choice for the City’s newest residents, offering direct pedestrian access to Canopy Park and the Miami Beach Baywalk, panoramic views across the cityscape and Biscayne Bay, and best-in-market amenities,” said David Martin, CEO of Terra.

Five Park is designed by Arquitectonica with interiors by Gabellini Sheppard. The tower will include approximately 280 residential units with a blend of condominium and multifamily residences as well as 3-acre public park. The units mix is made up of spacious two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences and penthouses. Building amenities will include an amenity deck with two swimming pools, a restaurant, sunset viewing lounge areas, a resort-style spa, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with outdoor exercise areas. The tower will also feature a grand lobby with a gourmet café as well as a Sky Club lounge with a second fitness center, a private dining room, and a building concierge offering in-room dining and other specialized services for residents.

The development also includes the construction of Canopy Park, Miami Beach’s newest public park, which broke ground in July 2020. The three-acre park, located between the 600 and 700 blocks of Alton Road, will include an array of resiliency and sustainable features along with open green spaces shaded by native tree species, pedestrian and bike paths, an outdoor gym and dog run, a MONSTRUM-designed children’s playground, and public art displays. Construction of Miami Beach’s newest world-class city amenity is currently underway and is slated for completion in Summer 2021.

Approved plans for the site also include a third phase, Miami Beach Canopy, which will encompass a signature pedestrian bridge spanning 5th Street designed by internationally renowned artist Daniel Buren and is anticipated to get underway in 2022. The Miami Beach Canopy — subtitled Walking Under, Along, and On the Colors: work in-situ by Daniel Buren — will complete the Miami Beach Baywalk, creating a safe and seamless connection running from South Pointe Park north to the Lincoln Road District and east to the beachfront. The Canopy will become an instant icon for Miami Beach and a beloved work of public art that guides pedestrians along a rainbow of colorful shadows.

The $345 million loan is the latest sign that Blackstone is going long on the Miami market following the news that the firm has purchased the office towers at 2 and 3 Miami Central in Downtown Miami for $230 million. Blackstone is planning a 200-person tech-focused office in Downtown Miami.

Shoma Group Sells 10 Units At Luxury Boutique Condo Ten30 South Beach In 15 Days

Ten30 South Beach, a curated collection of 43 one-, two-, and three-bedroom condominiums nestled in one of South Beach’s most vibrant neighborhoods, is quickly selling out its inventory as demand for Miami luxury real estate heightens. Shoma Group along with the project’s exclusive residential brokerage, Fortune Development Sales, have reported a record pace for sales with 10 units sold in just 15 days. Ten30 South Beach now has more than 75% of its residences under contract as sales continue to climb.

An enclave of moderately priced, Mid-Century Modern design-inspired Miami Beach condominiums by development firm Shoma Group, sales for the four-story boutique development have been fueled by the momentum received from the project’s top off in December and upcoming imminent opening this summer.

“As the tide of Northeasterners and West Coast residents from states like California rise in Miami seeking all that South Florida has to offer, the extraordinary demand we’ve recently experienced certainly stands out,” said Masoud Shojaee, President and CEO of Shoma Group. “The popularity of luxury boutique residential real estate has certainly risen this year as buyers are seeking less dense living along with larger units and outdoor spaces. Ten30 South Beach is front-and-center as an idyllic offering to fill that need and is well-positioned from a large slate of new offerings.”

“Buyers are taking notice of Ten30 South Beach. With the project set to be completed very soon it provides a significant competitive edge and is an important selling point for those who want to move here now,” said Edgardo Defortuna, President and CEO of Fortune International Group. “Offering the privacy of a single-family home, with the turnkey appeal and convenience of a condominium, we have seen pent-up demand for this unique type of boutique product and are confident that sales will continue to reflect this.”

Set to open to residents this summer, the project offers the style and prestige of an exclusive address surrounded by premier shopping, dining and dazzling attractions of Miami Beach. For Ten30 residents to leisurely explore the neighborhood and savor South Beach, the developer recently debuted a unique offering of a Vespa at closing for new buyers on select units. Gifted with a voucher at closing, buyers will be able to choose from a premiere lineup of models from the world’s most iconic scooter brand that can easily be stored in their private, covered parking space.

“The sales pace we’ve seen the last few weeks has been nothing short of incredible,” said Stephanie Shojaee, Chief Marketing Officer of Shoma Group. “Several of our recent buyers have purchased multiple units with plans to combine them and update the floorplans to create larger units to enjoy. This is a consistent trend we’ve seen throughout the project as more and more buyers are seeking larger units along with rooftop terraces. We originally were seeing several second home buyers, but are now seeing many people who are looking to relocate permanently and want space to entertain.”

Primed for pure relaxation and a healthy lifestyle, Ten30 South Beach also recently introduced plans for its saltwater rosé-colored rooftop pool. Situated on a sprawling 6,000 square-foot rooftop deck, Ten30’s pool offers a restful retreat to relax and recharge with the added health benefits of the salt water that includes improved wellness with increased buoyancy reducing the weight of gravity on joints and muscles, soothing tension, and a gentler overall experience. Also, fewer chemicals means less irritation on skin and eyes, and the water feels softer, smoother, and purer than water sanitized using a traditional system.

Additional amenities include a lounge and outdoor kitchen area complete with barbecue and yoga space, as well as a dual gym showcasing spinning and treads with Pilates reformers and rock-climbing. The well-appointed condominiums offer a variety of floor plans each with state-of-the-art technology and high-end finishes.

Located at 1030 15th Street, Ten30 South Beach offers one-, two- and three-bedroom units with expansive private rooftop terraces. Kitchens epitomize modern elegance and functionality with Italian cabinetry and premium appliances, and designer finishes throughout compliment the spacious master bedrooms that boast a unique open bathroom concept. Residences are priced from the $500’s with low association fees of less than $400 per month.
