The U.S. Immigration Fund provided the balance of the financing, which was approximately $80 million.
Via Mizner’s second phase of construction includes the Mandarin Oriental Boca Raton, additional retail suites at The Shoppes at Via Mizner and Via Mizner Golf & City Club. The 164-room luxury hotel will feature two rooftop pools, spa services, an athletic club and dining venues.
