JLL arranges $300M construction loan for 830 Brickell in Miami

MIAMI, August 8, 2019 – JLL announced today that it has arranged a $300 million construction loan for the development of 830 Brickell, a 1.03 million-square-foot, 56-story, Class A, marquis tower that includes nearly 615,000 square feet of rentable space in the heart of Brickell, Miami’s financial district and premier office market.

JLL worked on behalf of the developers, a joint venture between OKO Group and Cain International, to secure the four-year construction loan through MSD Partners. 

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower included Managing Director Scott Aiese, Senior Director Scott Wadler, Director Jesse Wright and Associate Alex Staikos.

“Miami is not only a globally important capital of commerce for international companies, it is also becoming increasingly attractive to domestic firms,” said Vladislav Doronin, Chairman and CEO of OKO Group. “The 830 Brickell tower will provide these businesses with access to the core of Miami’s financial district, as well as world-class architecture, design and advanced functionality that this gateway city and its workforce demands.”

“As Miami continues to expand as a global gateway for business, we are proud to be a part of its growth and diversification,” added Jonathan Goldstein, CEO of Cain International. “We hope that the addition of 830 Brickell will provide a solution for businesses to find a home with luxury modern amenities and conveniences in the heart of Miami’s business center."

830 Brickell is positioned to be the leading office tower in South Florida with world-class architecture and design. Anticipated for delivery in first quarter 2022, 830 Brickell is ideally positioned at 830 SE 1st Avenue in the epicenter of Brickell, directly adjacent to Brickell City Center, a $1.5 billion mixed-use development that anchors the neighborhood and provides an abundance of retail and food & beverage amenities within its 560,000 square feet of curated stores and restaurants. Brickell City Center has been a catalyst for the residential development in the surrounding area and today there are more than 4,400 luxury units within two blocks of 830 Brickell. Additionally, tenants at 830 Brickell can access a MetroMover station just steps from the property, providing connectivity through the central business district, and proximity to Interstate 95 allows those traveling by car to easily traverse the region.

“We’re excited to see this world-class office tower added to the epicenter of Brickell, which we believe will become the aspirational address for tenants in this gateway market,” Aiese said.

“OKO and Cain bring a new caliber of development to the Miami market with 830 Brickell’s design features and construction quality,” Wadler added.
