MIAMI AND BOCA RATON, FLA. — Walker & Dunlop has arranged $45.2 million in financing for two parcels in South Florida. Eric McGlynn and Kevin O’Grady of Walker & Dunlop arranged the refinancing loans in two separate transactions, which effectively lower the interest rates on each property’s existing land loan. The first loan was on behalf of Property Markets Group (PMG) for $33 million for a parcel in Miami located at 300 Biscayne Blvd. that will house Waldorf Astoria & Residences Miami. PMG, Greybrook Realty Partners and S2 Development are co-developing the 98-story building that will feature 140 hotel rooms and approximately 400 for-sale condominiums. BridgeInvest provided the non-recourse, interest-only loan that gives the developers the option to exit with limited prepayment penalties. The second loan, which was for 130 acres in Boca Raton, totaled $12.2 million. The land is the former site of Mizner Trail Golf Club, a public golf course. The owner of the land, Compson Associates, is planning to develop a 255-unit residential development consisting of townhomes and single-family homes. New Gables Capital provided the non-recourse loan that gives the borrower 12 additional months to complete predevelopment activities.
