New York Developers Purchase Site to Build a Two Tower Residential Project for $40.5 Million
The Namdar Group recently purchased a development site for $40.5 million with plans to construct a two-tower residential and apartment project in downtown Miami.
According to county records, the New York-based company purchased 1.3 acres in two agreements at 50 and 60 Northeast Third Street and at 222 and 234 Northeast First Avenue.
Namdar additionally obtained a $195 million loan for the purchase and development of the skyscrapers. Scale Lending, a subsidiary of Slate Property Group, supplied the funding.
A 41-story structure with 640 units and a 43-story building with 714 units would make up the proposed Namdar Towers, which would have combined square footage of more than 1.2 million.
According to records, entities led by Daniel Stone paid $30.5 million for the parking lot and land at 50, 60, and 222 Northeast First Avenue as well as the parking lot at 50 and 60 Northeast Third Street.
The retail building at 234 Northeast First Avenue was sold for $10 million by a partner of Jaime and Esther Waserstein, who founded the ShoeGallery company in Miami. There is a ShoeGallery store on the premises.
According to its website, Namdar is a family-owned development company that was established in 1979. Ephraim Namdar, who has previously been named in media sources as the company’s founder and CEO, is in charge of running the LLC that bought the Miami property.
Igal Namdar’s commercial real estate investment company, Namdar Realty Group, which buys bankrupt retail centers, also has a New York address that is shared by Namdar.
The Journal Square district of Jersey City has seen activity from the corporation. According to the real estate website Jersey Digs, Namdar completed the tops of two mixed-use towers with a total of 27 stories and 667 residences in July.
Namdar Towers would be the newest development in downtown Miami, which has attracted the attention of multifamily developers.
A 48-story tower with 1,200 flats is what Jorge and Jon Paul Pérez’s Related Group and ROVR Development hope to erect at the site of the College Station Garage at 190 Northeast Third Street. The Namdar Towers location is direct across the street from this one.
The 57-story, 675-unit M Tower is what Lions Group NYC and Fortis Design + Build hope to erect at 56, 70, and 65 Southwest Second Street.
Hyatt and Gencom plan to transform the James L. Knight Center and adjoining Hyatt Regency Miami hotel into a three-tower complex called Miami Riverbridge as part of another downtown redevelopment. 1,500 apartments, a new Hyatt hotel with 615 rooms and 264 service-branded flats, as well as a 190,000-square-foot conference center are all part of the plans.
A referendum on the plan will be held in November.
New York Developer Acquires Belmar Condominium in Edgewater for a Potential New Development Site
Another potential development site in Miami’s Edgewater neighborhood has been acquired by a New York condo and multifamily developer.
According to public documents, a company managed by Joseph Stern, the principal of SB Development, paid $12 million for all 13 apartments of the Belmar Condominium at 419 Northeast 19th Street. The price per condo for the group purchase is $923,076. To pay for the transaction, the buyer got a $14 million loan from Rok Lending, a company based in Aventura.
Between the 1970s and the 1990s, several of the sellers who bought units made substantial profits on their purchases. In 1973, when Belmar was finished, Francesca, Monica, and David Vila paid $36,000 for a two-bedroom apartment, according to documents. Leopoldo Colon and Kenneth Merker, who are on the board of the Belmar condominium, paid $40,00 and $41,00 for their respective apartments in 1993 and 1994. After Stern’s company completed the bulk sale, the condo association was disbanded, according to records.
The five-story Belmar, which is tucked up against the Cité on the Bay Condominium, might be SB Development’s upcoming renovation endeavor in Edgewater. There are no plans on file with the city of Miami.
For $12.2 million, SB and its joint venture partner Hazelton Capital Group purchased a five-bedroom home at 480 Northeast 29th Street as well as two nearby vacant properties. The land is zoned for up to 38 floors, and the partnership aims to build a boutique apartment tower with a bayfront restaurant on the ground floor.
According to the company website, SB, which was founded in 2010, has more than 500,000 square feet of projects in various stages of development, from townhomes to high-rise buildings. For a construction site in Long Island City where the company intends to construct a $70 million, 24-story apartment tower, SB paid $15.2 million in 2019. SB also contributed to the development of Williamsburg’s Dime, a mixed-use housing and retail complex.

CEO and Founder of Mast Capital stated, “The interior design of Cipriani Residences Miami demonstrates a fundamental richness that recalls the timeless elegance of four generations of the Cipriani family. 1508 London has envisioned an offering that captures both the inherent spirit of Cipriani and the sophisticated lifestyle of Miami.”
The developer is expecting a sellout of approximately $1 billion. The groundbreaking is anticipated for the end of 2022 with a top-off date in 2025 with a completion date in 2026. Reservations are expected to be converted to contracts next month which will coincide with the launch of their sales center.
