The Echo developers originally received a $22.5 million mortgage from Eastwatch Echo Lender-T in July 2013, when they purchased the 1451 Brickell Avenue project site. Eastwatch is tied to New York-based NorthStar Realty Finance.

PMG and JDS plan to construct a nearly 60-story tower with 180 condos. Prominent architect Carlos Ott designed Echo Brickell.
