Finvarb Group Locks Down $19 Million In Financing For Miami Beach Project

Finvarb Group, led by Ronny Finvarb, has secured a $19 million construction loan for a 12-unit residential mixed-use project at 1790 Alton Road in Miami Beach. The financing, provided by Amerant Bank, will support a five-story building which will also feature two restaurants on the first two floors, along with 19 parking spaces equipped with a mechanical lift. The upper levels will house 12 residential units, ranging from 724 to 1,185 square feet, and include a rooftop pool.

Finvarb Group acquired the 0.2-acre site at the entrance to Sunset Harbour for $4 million in 2021 and initially planned to develop a hotel with 36 rooms; however, the city instituted stricter regulations regarding hotel development in the adjacent Sunset Harbour neighborhood prompting the shift to a mixed-use project. The site is situated near the Kimpton Hotel Palomar South Beach, Marriott South Beach, and nearly complete Thompson Hotel Miami Beach, all of which Finvarb Group also developed.

Demolition Begins for Transformative Mixed-Use Development 'The Avenue' on Naples' Prestigious Fifth Avenue

Aprea, led by Andy Penev, announced today that demolition has begun at the future site of The Avenue, a sprawling mixed-use project planned at the gateway to downtown Naples on prestigious 5th Avenue between 5th and 6th Avenues and 9th and 11th Streets.

East of Four Corners, where U.S. 41 turns east toward Miami between the historic Tin City and the renowned Fifth Avenue shopping district, the 4.3-acre site consists of a number of vacant lots and empty, non-conforming buildings, damaged by Hurricane Ian, including the former home of the iconic St. George & The Dragon restaurant shuttered in 2012.

The demolition signals the beginning of an exciting transformation of the gateway to Naples by blending luxury residences with vibrant retail and hospitality spaces. This mixed-use development will consist of four boutique buildings, featuring 50 bespoke residences alongside 75,000 square feet of premier retail space, all designed to offer a pedestrian-friendly environment reminiscent of charming European streets.

The demolition process will involve a phased approach, beginning with installing a site perimeter fence then structural assessments and deconstruction to ensure materials are sorted for recycling and proper disposal. Envirostruct will utilize modern, low-impact machinery to reduce noise and dust emissions while demolishing the existing structures, aligning with the project’s commitment to environmental responsibility. The timeline for demolition spans the next 90 days, with efforts to minimize any disruption to nearby businesses and residents through scheduled work hours and proactive communication with the community.

Envirostruct has been tasked with removing all existing structures and is working closely with the City to ensure the process adheres to all regulations and minimizes any disruption to the community. The general contractor for vertical construction will be announced in the coming months.

Aprea is committed to fostering strong relationships within the community throughout the construction process. “The start of demolition is the first of many milestones to come. We have every confidence Envirostruct will ensure this process will be smooth, efficient and environmentally responsible, setting the stage for the creation of a world-class destination in the heart of Naples,” Penev added.

Residences at The Avenue, which began sales in January, are thoughtfully designed with two to four bedrooms and are priced from under $3 million to $8 million. Each building will feature distinctive amenities, including pools, state-of-the-art fitness centers, spas, and club rooms tailored for co-working and socializing. Residents will also enjoy five-star, hotel-level services, including concierge assistance with in-home package delivery, grocery and dry-cleaning services, beach service transportation and setup, housekeeping and home-watch coordination, and exclusive beach house vehicles for convenient coastal living.

The Dawn McKenna Group, recently appointed as the exclusive sales and marketing team for The Avenue, brings their unparalleled expertise and global reach to introduce this unique development to discerning buyers.

“The momentum for The Avenue is palatable. We’ve enjoyed an incredible response from interested buyers who recognize that The Avenue is poised to set a new standard for luxury living in Naples,” said Christine Lutz, Director of New Developments for the Dawn McKenna Group. “We are thrilled to witness the project’s first major construction milestone.”

In addition to offering bespoke residences, The Avenue will feature lushly landscaped open-air walkways, elite dining establishments, and high-end shops that reflect the vibrant charm of downtown Naples.

Terra Locks Down $291 Million In Permanent Financing for Phase 1 Of 38-Acre Centro City In West Miami Dade

Coconut Grove-based development firm Terra, led by David Martin, has secured a total of $291 million in permanent financing for the newly completed first phase of Centro City, a 38-acre mixed-use development located in the center of Miami-Dade County, just west of Little Havana.

JVP Management has issued a $187 million loan for the development’s multifamily residential component. Hudson Bay Capital has issued a $104 million loan for the retail component. The two loans will be used to pay off the development’s existing construction financing, which was provided in 2022 by Apollo Global Management and Mack Real Estate Credit Strategies.

Now complete, Centro City’s first phase includes a total of 350,000 square feet of revamped and newly built retail space, along with three 8-story multifamily buildings with 470 market-rate apartments. Leasing is now underway for the development’s residential component and tenants are expected to begin move-ins this March.

A Walker & Dunlop team led by Keith Kurland and Gangemi Law Group represented Terra in the transactions. Holland & Knight partners Joe Dewey, Brett Holland, Shawn Amuial and Shaina Kamen, and associate Brian Piper, led the firm’s representation of Hudson Bay Capital.

"Securing long-term financing for Centro City represents a significant milestone, not just for Terra but for the South Florida real estate market as a whole," said David Martin, CEO of Terra. "This project embodies our vision of creating vibrant, sustainable communities that enhance the way people live, work, and connect. Centro City’s completion will provide much-needed housing options, state-of-the-art retail experiences, and community spaces in the heart of Miami-Dade, setting a new standard for mixed-use developments in the region. We are excited to continue building momentum with future phases that will further contribute to the area’s growth and vitality."

Arquitectonica’s vision for the development’s residential component includes multifamily buildings lining the perimeter of the property featuring a series of courtyards, pool decks and lushly landscaped sidewalks. Market-rate units – priced from $2,500 per month – range from studios to two-bedroom apartments measuring between 500 and 1,250 square feet in size. Community amenities include multiple pools, poolside cabanas, barbecue grill areas, a children’s playground, a dog park, resident lounges, game rooms, and more.

The development’s retail component, which included the redevelopment of the property’s existing Central Shopping Plaza, is anchored by a 100,000-square-foot Target and is 95% leased to new and existing tenants including Ross Dress for Less, DD’s, Fresco Y Mas, Walgreens, and Bank of America. Designed by RSP Architects, the reimagined shopping center has been upgraded with a newly conceived façade, common areas, landscaping and signage along with the construction of new retail outparcels.

All told, Centro City’s master plan will come alive in multiple phases and include up to 1,200 market-rate residential apartments, green space for residents, a newly reimagined shopping center with lifestyle-oriented retail and restaurants, a Class A office building, and a Mater Academy K-8 Charter School. Construction of the development’s second phase, which will include approximately 518 multifamily apartments, is expected to commence later this year.

Centro City’s location in West Little Havana – on the northwest corner of NW 7th Street and NW 37th Avenue – is near some of Miami’s largest employment centers, including Miami International Airport, the planned Inter Miami soccer stadium, the Coral Gables Business District, and Blue Lagoon Office Complex. Additionally, the property is across the street from the historic Magic City Casino gaming and entertainment venue, and less than two blocks from the 836 Expressway, providing unparalleled access.

Terra’s portfolio of newly completed mixed-use commercial and multifamily developments across South Florida includes Grove Central, a transit-oriented mixed-use development with residential and retail uses in Coconut Grove; Pines Garden at City Center, a garden-apartment community in Broward County’s City of Pembroke Pines; Natura Gardens, a multifamily community in Northwest Miami-Dade County; and Doral Atrium and Doral Square, two lifestyle-driven retail developments in the City of Doral. Terra is also currently developing Upland Park, a $1 billion mixed-use transit-oriented community that will transform West Miami-Dade County’s Dolphin Park-and-Ride/Transit Terminal Facility into a 47-acre multimodal transportation hub with residential, retail and commercial uses.

Eighteen Sunset Achieves Full Occupancy in Miami Beach’s Thriving Office Market

Eighteen Sunset, a highly anticipated mixed-use boutique development in Miami Beach’s Sunset Harbour neighborhood, has achieved full occupancy for its premium office spaces. The 17,708 square feet of Class A+ office space has been fully leased, highlighting the surging demand for luxury work environments in Miami Beach.

Colliers, led by Vice Chair Stephen Rutchik, managed the leasing process on behalf of the landlords, Deco Capital Group and RWN Real Estate Partners. CBRE’s Executive Vice Presidents Jeff Gordon and Barbara Black represented the tenants in the transactions.

The property has attracted a carefully curated mix of tenants, including a globally recognized private equity firm and luxury lifestyle brand Audemars Piguet. Both organizations were drawn to Eighteen Sunset’s unique blend of high-end design, waterfront views, and proximity to Miami Beach’s dynamic cultural and business hubs.

Developed by Deco Capital Group and constructed by Origin Construction, Eighteen Sunset is located at 1759 Purdy Avenue, offering tenants direct access to Maurice Gibb Park, the Sunset Harbour Marina, and upscale dining and retail options. Its strategic location combines proximity to Miami Beach’s active community with unobstructed views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Venetian Islands.

Stephen Rutchik of Colliers emphasized the property’s role in meeting modern workspace needs: “Eighteen Sunset represents the future of workspaces in Miami Beach. Its boutique design, unmatched amenities, and premier location reflect the evolving preferences of businesses seeking more than just office space.”

Slated for completion later this year, Eighteen Sunset is poised to set a new benchmark for elite office environments in Miami Beach’s competitive real estate market.
