Tropez Property Owner LLC, in care of Lincoln Property Co. in Duluth, Georgia, sold the 376 apartments at 8000 Cleary Blvd. to AMFP V St. Tropez LLC, in care of New York-based multifamily investment firm Abacus Capital Partners. JLL Real Estate Capital provided a 7-year, $84.53 million loan to the buyer.

An affiliate of the Related Group obtained a $91.3 million construction loan to finish work on the Solemar condo along the ocean in Pompano Beach.

CIBC Bank USA provided the mortgage to PRH 1116 North Ocean LLC, an affiliate of Miami-based the Related Group. It covers the 2.65-acre site at 1116 N. Ocean Blvd.

The developer broke ground on the 20-story condo with 105 units in May. This loan means the Related Group could have all the funding required to complete the project.

During an interview in August, Related Group VP Nicholas Perez said Solemar was 97% pre-sold and the majority of the buyers were domestic, with many from the Northeast.


Pebblebrook Hotel Trust has closed on its $270 million purchase of the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort along the ocean in Hollywood.

The buyer assumed $161.5 million in debt, with a floating interest rate that currently sits at 2.5%. That means the interest rate moves up and down with the market.

The deal was first announced in June.


Miami-Dade County
An office building could rise in the parking lot of a shopping center in the Miami Health District.

The developers of the Natiivo Miami condo in downtown Miami obtained a $213.4 million construction loan to complete the project.
