Terra, New Valley, Great Eagle Holdings and Bizzi & Partners Pay Off $155 Million Construction Loan For Eighty Seven Park

The partners behind Eighty Seven Park, Pritzker Prize winning architect Renzo Piano’s first residential development in the United States, have paid off $155 million in construction financing for the newly-completed Miami Beach condominium tower. The loan, which was issued in 2017 by United Overseas Bank, helped fund the development of the 18-story, luxury tower located at 8701 Collins Avenue in the city’s North Beach neighborhood, which was delivered in November 2019. More than 90% of the development’s 66 residences have been sold, with unit sales representing over $400 million in total transaction value. Remaining residences are available from about $2 million to $10 million.

“Our ability to pay off our financing shortly after completion speaks to the strength of Eighty Seven Park’s development and design teams, and to the high-demand we’ve seen for this one-of-a kind iconic building,” said developer David Martin, President of Terra. “Renzo Piano and West 8 had such a powerful vision for this project, and we are thrilled by the response from our owners from across the U.S. and around the world.”

Since launching sales in 2016, Eighty Seven Park has attracted a diverse mix of residents including a significant percentage of domestic buyers. While the tower has enjoyed steady sales activity among global buyers, U.S. buyers have accounted for approximately 50% of all unit sales to date.

Residences at Eighty Seven Park feature floor-to-ceiling windows and wrap-around terraces. Each unit offers breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and lush greenery. Among the design team was internationally acclaimed Parisian architect, Rena Dumas (RDAI), who created the tower’s interior and exterior living spaces. Luxurious amenities include around-the-clock concierge and butler service, an outdoor juice bar, a full-service salon for residents, and a full-time botanist who assist residents with their private balcony gardens. The residences feature large outdoor living spaces with summer kitchens, accounting for approximately 70% of each unit’s interior space. Additionally, owners and their guests have access to have a two-acre park.
