The 100-unit community, located at 788 N.E. 23rd St., overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood. Kevin O’Grady and Eric McGlynn of Walker & Dunlop arranged the financing through JPMorgan Chase Bank on behalf of Two Roads Development, which is developing the project in partnership with entities managed by investment firm DW Partners.
