Related Group Negotiates Return Of Unsold Condo Towers

The Related Group, the nation's largest condo tower developer, is attempting in the next two months to finalize plans to return thousands of unsold new units with debt of "roughly $1.5 billion" to the construction lenders, according to Miami news reports.

The admission comes just as the Related Group has agreed to relinquish ownership to its lenders of the remaining 381 unsold units in the 420-unit, 20-story CityPlace South Tower in Downtown West Palm Beach. Related had still owed about $119 million, or about 88 percent, of the original $134.7 million construction loan, according to South Florida news reports.

"We've had very good discussions over the last seven months with all of our lender syndicates," Related Group's chief operating officer Matt Allen told the Miami Daily Business Review. "Each syndicate is different. They have different goals they might want to achieve, and we expect in 60 days to have complete resolution and that resolution can carry many different fronts."

Related developed or converted dozens of highrises with several thousand units throughout Florida, ranging from the Apogee in Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood to the Trump Hollywood in Southeast Broward County,  the Oasis in Fort Myers on the Gulf of Mexico to the ICON Brickell complex in Greater Downtown Miami.  

In Downtown Miami alone, the Related Group built during the condo boom about 5,550 units, of which the company is still in possession of more than 2,400 units, or about 44 percent, according to the Official Condo Buyers Guide to Miami™ published by Condo Vultures®.
