Tricera Capital, led by Scott Sherman and Ben Mandell, have closed on $50.8 million in refinancing and construction financing for their mixed-use office and retail redevelopment The Press, located at 2751 South Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach. The loan was provided by the Chicago-based Monroe Capital. Tricera Capital was represented by Jason Krane and Simon Ziff of Ackman-Ziff Real Estate Group.

Tricera Capital acquired the former Palm Beach Post campus in March 2019 for $24 million. The redevelopment of the property is an example of creative adaptive re-use and expected to reinvigorate the city’s Dixie Highway corridor. The property was a former printing press and distribution facility and nearly all existing structures are to remain, including the Post’s office building and printing press. The project name is a nod to the Post’s legacy at the site.

The Press is divided into two components, The Shops at the Press, the 125,000 square foot retail component, and the adjacent Workspaces at the Press, the 140,000 square foot office component. Joseph’s Classic Market will serve as the retail anchor which was announced in February 2021 and the property will also feature a newly built Starbucks outparcel.
