The deal involved the negotiation and closing on the purchase of two 10-story towers comprising over 330 residential units, and all aspects of the associated due diligence. As part of the acquisition, our finance team assisted BH Group in securing a significant loan from a Miami-based mortgage lender, negotiating favorable financing terms to support and fund a portion of the purchase.
