Newgard Group and Two Roads Development closed on $513 million in construction financing for their One Brickell Riverfront project in Miami’s financial district, making it one of the largest residential construction loans in the South Florida market this year. The development includes LOFTY Brickell and The Standard Residences, Brickell condominium towers where construction is months ahead of schedule on the Miami River.
An undisclosed private lender provided $370 million in senior financing while 3650 Capital originated a $143 million mezzanine loan.
Located at 99 SW Seventh St. next to Brickell City Centre, the master-planned development features two high-rise condominium towers rising from a shared podium. LOFTY Brickell is a 44-story tower with 362 residences, while The Standard Residences, Brickell will stand 46 stories and include 422 residences.
Construction is more than halfway complete, with both towers expected to deliver months ahead of their targeted August 2027 completion. G.T. McDonald is the project’s general contractor.
“This financing reinforces the market’s confidence in the strength of our vision for One Brickell Riverfront,” said Harvey Hernandez, CEO of Newgard Group. “Together with Two Roads, we are creating a destination that combines world-class design, unmatched amenities, and the flexibility today’s buyers demand.”
Hernandez continued: “3650 Capital has been instrumental to the success of this extraordinary project, having supported us since the initial acquisition of the property. We are thrilled to continue to grow our relationship with the firm, who has helped finance several of our new condominium developments in the past.”
“Brickell is one of the most dynamic urban neighborhoods in the country, and this project reflects our shared commitment to delivering best-in-class residential experiences,” said Taylor Collins, Managing Partner of Two Roads Development. “Securing this loan is another important milestone as we move quickly toward topping off early next year.”
Newgard and Two Roads formed a strategic partnership in November 2024 to transform one of Brickell’s last undeveloped riverfront sites into a vibrant, integrated community.
“One Brickell Riverfront is poised to bring highly desirable luxury condominiums with two distinct concepts to Miami’s financial district,” said Jonathan Roth, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of 3650 Capital. “The successful closing of this transaction speaks to 3650’s local market expertise, special servicing function and ability to help our borrowers from site assemblage through construction and sellout—core tenets of our capabilities that enable us to generate strong investor returns. The sponsors have robust track records of developing high-end residential projects, and we’re pleased to have helped them navigate the complexities of the project, which we believe is situated in one of the most attractive locations in all of Florida.”
Designed by Arquitectonica, LOFTY Brickell features studios and one- and two-bedroom residences and penthouses furnished by INC. Its 40,000 square feet of amenities include a private marina, resort-style pool deck, fitness center, spa, cigar lounge and co-working spaces. The highly acclaimed New York City-based restaurant AVRA Estiatorio will open a location on LOFTY’s ground floor, providing owners and guests with an elevated Coastal Greek dining experience with waterfront views.
A limited number of penthouse residences remain available for sale with prices ranging from $2.4 to $3.5 million. The building has proven to be very attractive to individuals seeking a 5-star lifestyle in Miami’s urban core. Another strong attraction is LOFTY’s flexible ownership model allowing owners the ability to rent out their units on their own terms.
