Spanning more than 25,000 square feet of total amenity space there will also be a state-of-the-art conference space with audio-visual functionality, several private workspaces, a multi-sport simulator room and theater, and an elegant private dining room with climate-controlled wine storage.

Brightline Completes First Major Construction Zone For Orlando Extension

Brightline has completed its first major construction zone (Zone 2) on its 170-mile extension from West Palm Beach to Orlando International Airport (OIA). One of four zones along this extension, Zone 2 is a 3.5-mile-long section on Brightline’s corridor leading into OIA and represents one of the most complex and challenging areas for construction in the entire project.

Brightline’s Zone 2 is an engineered double track that travels under active airport taxiways and over tug roads running through the heart of OIA. Brightline’s construction of this zone includes six bridges, two underpasses and several airport improvements, including a new traffic interchange configuration at Cargo Road, located north of the airport, and the airport’s first roundabout designed to assist with traffic flow. Additionally, the steel used throughout Zone 2 and throughout Brightline’s Orlando corridor extension is 100 percent recycled, American-made steel sourced from Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Beginning in 2023, Brightline trains will travel through the airport corridor at 35 miles-per-hour before heading east along SR 528 towards Cocoa where they will reach top speeds of 125 miles-per-hour. Trains traveling along Zone 2 will have access to the airport’s new Intermodal Terminal Facility and the Beachline Expressway/SR 528.

“Our construction through OIA presented one of the most complex construction efforts of this entire project and our successful completion is a testament to partnership, teamwork and out-of-the-box thinking,” said Michael Cegelis, executive vice president, development and construction for Brightline. “The collective efforts of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, The Middlesex Corporation and our team resulted in the first ever high-speed rail corridor in one of the busiest airports in the nation.”

“The completion of Zone 2 is a major milestone for the Brightline construction and engineering team as we continue to work towards the completion of the corridor to Orlando from West Palm Beach,” said Donald Jello, project manager at Brightline.

Brightline completed additional infrastructure on the project to accommodate future transportation options through the airport including embankment, bridge foundations at the tug roads, and a shared underpass at Cargo Rd. The project was constructed in partnership with The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA).

The Orlando extension is 70 percent complete and employs more than 1,300 daily construction workers and is scheduled to be finished by the end of 2022. The Middlesex Corporation, based in Orlando, served as general contractor, and constructed the corridor over 33 months through the work of over 100 employees who logged more than 419,000 hours.

Subcontractors on the project included Delta Railroad Construction, Inc. of Ashtabula, Ohio, HWR (a joint venture of Herzog and Railworks) of Melbourne, Florida, Sterling Enterprises, L.L.C. of Lake Helen, Florida, Transportation Systems Inc. of Orlando, Florida, G&C Welding Specialists of Sanford, Florida, Keller of Orlando, Florida, and Tierra, Inc. of Winter Garden, Florida. The track was constructed with American made recycled steel from Steel Dynamics North America Inc., in Ft. Wayne, Indiana and concrete ties manufactured by Rocla in its purpose-built plant in Ft. Pierce, FL. With Zone 2 now complete, Wabtec of Jacksonville, Florida will install Positive Train Control (PTC) under contract with Brightline.

In January of 2022, Brightline began daily crew training and qualifying test runs between West Palm Beach and Cocoa as part of its extension to Orlando. Over an eight-year period, Brightline’s corridor between Miami and Orlando will result in $6.4 billion in economic impact while creating more than 10,000 jobs. Brightline currently serves Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach, with its expansion stations in Aventura and Boca Raton opening in fall of 2022.

Morgan Properties Acquires 3 Multifamily Communities In West Palm Beach For $132.5 Million

The Pennsylvania-based Morgan Properties has acquired three apartment communities in West Palm Beach totaling 622 units. Berkadia International Solutions’ Senior Managing Director Jaret Turkell along with Senior Managing Director Roberto Pesant, Associate Omar Morales and Senior Analyst Jose Mota of Berkadia Miami completed the $132.5 million sale on behalf of the seller, Massachusetts-based Northland Investment Corporation. The properties which traded include Windward at the Villages, The Royal St. George and Village Place. The deal was financed with a bridge loan secured by Director TJ Piper of Berkadia Philadelphia.

“An unprecedented wave of corporate relocations to West Palm Beach in the last year, combined with a shortage of rental housing in Palm Beach County, has produced a very tight apartment market with strong rent growth drivers,” said Turkell. “As a result, investor appetite for well-located multifamily assets has been extremely strong and is projected to remain that way for the foreseeable future.”

Windward at the Villages is located at 1441 Brandywine Road. The 196-unit property features one- and two-bedroom floor plans with air conditioning, a private balcony and in-unit washers and dryers. Community amenities include a swimming pool, a fitness center, a tennis court and a playground.

Affiliated Development Closes On $53 Million Loan And Begins Construction On West Palm Beach Workforce Housing Project

Fort Lauderdale-based Affiliated Development has started construction on the highly anticipated mixed-income workforce housing project, The Grand, after closing on financing. The Grand was capitalized by a $53 million first mortgage from Bank United and an investment from Affiliated Housing Impact Fund, LP and a private family office.

Located in downtown West Palm Beach between 2nd and 3rd Street along Rosemary Avenue, The Grand is walking distance to the city’s newest office complexes, shopping, dining, and entertainment venues, as well as the Brightline and Tri-Rail stations. Fit with luxury finishes, features and amenities, the 8-story building will offer 301 one and two-bedroom apartments and 9 three-bedroom townhomes with ground floor commercial space.

The Grand is being constructed by Moss & Associates and was designed by MSA Architecture. Expected completion is slated for Spring 2023.

The Grand celebrates a successful collaboration between public and private entities to address both redevelopment and housing. In December 2019, the West Palm Beach CRA and city’s Housing & Community Development department awarded the developer $15 million in various funding incentives to bridge the funding cap and help finance the project.

“Our goal is to work with our city and CRA partners to create a transformative project that ignites redevelopment activities within the CRA target area and increases the quality of life for the city’s residents,” says Jeff Burns, Co-Founder and CEO of Affiliated Development. “West Palm Beach’s leadership and staff have been amazing to work with, and we are excited to play a role in this city’s evolution.”

The project will offer downtown class-A living and rents the average resident can afford. As part of the city and CRA funding incentives, the developer agreed to restrict 2/3 of the units at various income levels starting at 80% of AMI.

“Affiliated Development’s $81 million investment into the city’s historic Northwest community represents the single largest private investment in this neighborhood’s history and will deliver much needed workforce housing for our city’s residents,” said West Palm Beach Mayor Keith A. James. “This project supports the city’s efforts to build stronger neighborhoods and to provide better connections for residents between their home and their job.”

The project supports Mayor Keith James’ “500 in 3” initiative, an effort to create 500 workforce and/or affordable housing units in West Palm Beach within three years.

West Palm Beach is experiencing a wave of new residents and economic development as the city is quickly becoming a prime financial center for firms relocating from New York and other U.S. markets.

“Recent job growth has exacerbated the housing need,” explains Nick Rojo, Co-Founder and President of Affiliated Development. “As a longtime resident, it’s especially meaningful for me to help deliver such an impactful and transformative project to the city.”

In December 2020, Affiliated Development announced the successful closing of their $125 million housing impact fund to capitalize the company’s projects and tackle the region’s workforce housing crisis, largely comprised of local public pension plans. Affiliated Development has found a niche in public-private-partnership development and have over one-thousand workforce units in the pipeline throughout South Florida.
