Berkadia, a distinguished leader in the commercial real estate sector, has facilitated a $100.4 million loan for Gatsby Florida to refinance DiVosta Towers, a 220,000-square-foot Class A office campus in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. One of the newest trophy office towers in Palm Beach County, DiVosta Towers consists of two 11-story office towers and a connected structured parking facility. The property is fully leased and home to a diverse roster of national and global tenants.
Senior Managing Director Charles Foschini, Managing Director Scott Wadler and Associate Director Shannon Wilson of Berkadia Miami arranged the loan on behalf of the sponsor, Gatsby Florida.
Cirrus Real Estate Partners provided a three-year, floating-rate, interest-only loan. Proceeds will refinance the existing loan Berkadia arranged in 2022 and position the asset for continued performance.
“In today’s lending environment, office is the most scrutinized asset class, and refinancing even high-quality properties has become increasingly selective,” said Foschini. “DiVosta Towers stands apart. With full occupancy, institutional-caliber tenancy, and a location where new supply is effectively constrained, this was exactly the type of asset lenders are still willing to back.”
“Palm Beach Gardens has emerged as one of the strongest office submarkets in the country, supported by strong in-migration and massive corporate investments in and around West Palm Beach,” added Wadler. “Office rents are up more than 90% over the past decade, and that growth is being driven by real fundamentals. The building’s location and performance coupled with best-in-class ownership and management made this deal possible. The Gatsby Florida team has employed a class-leading tenant program in the building and continues to outperform in the state.”
“Since taking ownership of the properties in 2020 and completing the full lease-up and construction of the towers we have been able to attract, and continue to attract, some of the best global firms to our property,” added Isaac Schalom, Vice President, Gatsby Florida. “By having a hands-on approach to the management, leasing and all other aspects we continue to add value to this strategic asset in Palm Beach County.”
Located at 3825 and 3835 PGA Boulevard, DiVosta Towers was completed in 2019 and 2020 and is a highly visible landmark along I-95, distinguished by its two Louvre pyramid-inspired architectural frameworks. It was the first new office development delivered in the submarket in more than a decade. Tenants include JP Morgan, Wealthspire Advisors, Virtu Financial, and others.
The campus features floor-to-ceiling glass, 10-foot ceiling heights, and a best-in-class amenity package, including structured parking with direct lobby access, tenant conference and event space, high-speed elevators, EV charging stations, and outdoor gathering areas. DiVosta towers in the newest office building in the submarket in over 15 years.
“These buildings are visible 24/7 from I-95, A1A, PGA Boulevard, and other streets throughout Palm Beach Gardens. They are iconic in design and an example of our firm’s brand. We are very happy with their performance and look forward to maintaining this standard across all of our properties. We are excited to begin construction this year on the newest office tower in this underserved market—The Modern. This building will complement what we have achieved at DiVosta Towers and serve best-in-class global tenants relocating to Palm Beach County,” said Babak Ebrahimzadeh, President of Gatsby Florida. Tenants benefit from immediate access to more than 2.5 million square feet of surrounding retail, including The Gardens Mall, as well as a 130,000-square-foot Life Time fitness facility directly across the street. The property is prominently positioned along PGA Boulevard and State Road A1A, one of the region’s most sought-after commercial corridors.
