Rieber Developments has landed an $83.8 million debt package to build an assisted-living mixed-use development in metropolitan Miami.

Miami-based BridgeInvest supplied a $63.5 million senior construction loan for Rieber’s 400,000-square-foot project called 1212 Aventura in Aventura. It will feature 163 luxury senior residences, 29,684 square feet of retail and 25,796 square feet of medical offices. An additional $20.3 million mezzanine loan was provided by an undisclosed international lender for the development.

“We are thrilled to finance an innovative project that will not only transform Aventura’s landscape for generations to come but also caters to the local underserved senior-living market,” Alex Horn, BridgeInvest’s founder and managing partner, said in a statement.

A Colliers International structured finance team led by Jeffrey Donnelly and Dmitry Levkov arranged the transaction.

The 1212 Aventura project, at 21290 Biscayne Boulevard, is located adjacent to Rieber’s 100-room Hilton-branded Serena Hotel Aventura. Colliers is also working on closing a $29 million refinance for the hotel which, along with 1212 Aventura, encompass the first two phases of Rieber’s planned master plan development that will incorporate multiple city blocks.

Donnelly said multiple lenders competed for the deal and credited Rieber’s creativity with designs for 1212 Aventura that gives it a “sexy Miami treatment” for an assisted-living development with floor-to-ceiling windows along with a resort-caliber pool and gardens.

“It’s very much a non-assisted living assisted-living project,” Donnelly said. “It has all the amenities in what is normally a very boring, very staid, very uninteresting asset class and I think that also helped with generating excitement with this financing opportunity.”

Construction for 1212 Aventura is slated for completion in early 2023. Pre-leasing and sales of the office and retail space are ongoing with limited inventory available, according to Bernardo Rieber, founder and CEO of Rieber Developments.

“With construction financing in place, we now have the resources to complete the construction of this state-of-art project designed by Arquitectonica and make our vision come true,” Rieber said in a statement.

BridgeInvest, a lender based in Miami, has originated $36 million of construction financing to fund the development of a mixed-use commercial building in Aventura, Fla.

The property, dubbed Ivory 214 by its builder, Rieber Developments, will add nearly 40,000 square feet of medical office space and 11,000 square feet of retail in the Atlantic coast city, about halfway between Miami and Fort Lauderdale. It will also include a 100-room hotel operated under Hilton‘s Tapestry Collection brand.

The loan refinances prior debt that was provided by the same lender in 2017 for Rieber’s acquisition of the land, according to Alex Horn, one of BridgeInvest’s founders.

“We’ve had the opportunity to work with the borrower for an extended period of time,” Horn said. “They’re very capable of building this project, so we liked the idea of financing the construction.”

The ten-story medical building, which broke ground just over a year ago, is subdivided into office condominiums that Rieber is selling to health-care providers. Though the property won’t be open for business until early 2020, 30 out of 34 office condos have already been sold, the company said.

Meanwhile, the Tapestry hotel will cater towards extended-stay customers, with each room featuring a small kitchen. There will also be a pool, a fitness center, meeting space and a rooftop terrace, with the property operated by Driftwood Hospitality Management.

“Securing the construction financing for Ivory 214 is an especially proud moment and a key step in delivering this compelling project to Aventura,” Bernardo Rieber, a principal at Rieber Developments, said in a statement. “Today’s closing is an endorsement of the continued strength and market appeal of Ivory 214 as we continue our forward momentum.”

The development, at 2820 Northeast 214th Street, will stand a few blocks from Aventura Hospital & Medical Center, a for-profit hospital run by HCA Healthcare. Rieber is also working on a neighboring project, 1212 Aventura, which will likewise include office and retail components but will feature a senior-living complex instead of a hotel.

The South Florida city of just under 40,000 residents is notable to commercial real estate cognoscenti as the home of the Aventura Mall, America’s third-largest shopping center. Last year, Aventura Mall, which is co-owned by Turnberry Associates and Simon Property Group, pulled in one of the biggest retail debt deals in the country, a $1.75 billion single-asset CMBS loan from J.P. Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo.
