Newmark is pleased to announce that its Debt & Structured Finance team secured $31 million in financing on behalf of Brickman from Varde Partners for the refinancing of 200 SE 1st Street in Miami, Florida. The Newmark team that arranged the transaction was led by Vice Chairmen and Co-Heads Jordan Roeschlaub and Dustin Stolly, Managing Director Chris Kramer and Associate Director Josh Egert.
The property is a 12-story, 142,000 SF office building with street-level retail space and a diversified tenant roster. Brickman purchased the building in 2016 and embarked on a substantial capital improvement plan to reposition the asset as a Class-A office building. The property is situated in the heart of Downtown Miami and just steps from the area’s major public transportation hubs, amenities and attractions.
“Brickman established a foothold in this pocket of Downtown Miami,” said Mr. Roeschlaub. “They have a keen understanding of the type of office product the market commands. This financing is uniquely structured to accommodate their strategy while also providing flexibility,” Mr. Roeschlaub added.
Brickman is a New York based real estate investor and operator led by Bruce Brickman. Brickman is a vertically-integrated investment management platform that has invested over $1.5 billion of equity, primarily through seven commingled private funds, on behalf of institutional and high net worth investors. The company has owned, operated, leased and asset-managed over 8.6 million square feet of office property, with a current office portfolio of 2.3 million square feet in eight markets across the United States.
