BGI Companies announce today the closing of an $82 million construction loan from Trez Capital, a private real estate lender helping to build better communities across North America. The loan was structured by BGI Capital, for the construction of Alba Palm Beach – a new waterfront residential condominium development located directly on the Intracoastal Waterway in the emerging and growing Northwood neighborhood. The development is a collection of 55 luxury residences spread throughout a 22-story tower, plus four two- and three-story townhomes. Since launching sales in February 2022, the development has received a strong response with more than 30 percent of the building reserved.
“We are so pleased to announce the securing of financing for Alba Palm Beach, especially with the great market response and sales success we have seen in such a short time since launching sales,” said Kenneth Baboun, principal developer. “This solidifies the project and allows us to begin construction. We look forward to officially breaking ground on the building this fall and sharing this unique waterfront living opportunity with buyers.”
“Working with the team from Trez Capital was a transparent and seamless experience and we are thrilled to have accomplished this milestone for Alba Palm Beach,” said Robert Barthelmess, Managing Partner of BGI Capital. “This is an important next step for the project, which we are proud to have been a part of.”
“Alba Palm Beach fills a glaring need for high-end residential product in a rapidly growing area of West Palm Beach,” said Trez Capital Managing Director Ben Jacobson. “We are excited to complete our first transaction with a sophisticated developer that will bring luxurious waterfront living to the city’s Northwood neighborhood.”
“West Palm Beach has been a focal point of the substantial corporate migration to South Florida over the past few years,” said Trez Capital Executive Managing Director, Eastern U.S. Brett Forman. “That is creating intense demand for luxury residences in the city. Alba Palm Beach is poised to generate significant activity from both new-to-market and local buyers.”
BGI Companies also announce today that they have chosen Suffolk, one of the largest building contractors in Florida, as the construction management firm to build the project. Suffolk was chosen for their expertise in the construction of high-profile multifamily residential projects, the use of innovative technologies, and their stellar reputation in the West Palm Beach construction market.
“Focused on collaboration and synergy, we have quickly developed a great relationship with the Alba team. This project will be a striking addition to the West Palm Beach waterfront, and we look forward to the delivery of this distinct, lifestyle-driven residence.” Stephen Chang, Chief Operating Office for Suffolk Southeast.
