The development, which broke ground in December, is slated for completion in 2017. It’s more than 92 percent sold, according to Related.

“Despite how competitive the market has grown, lenders are still eager to work with developers who come to the table with a solid track record and a project thoughtfully designed for success,” Ben Gerber, Related’s vice president of finance, said in a statement.

SLS Lux‘s sister property, SLS Brickell Hotel & Residences, topped off construction and will open mid-2016. In December, Related and sbe closed on a $157 million loan for SLS Brickell.

Both are within walking distance of Brickell City Centre, which when completed will include a 500,000-square-foot shopping component, two condominium towers, two Class A office buildings, and its EAST, Miami Hotel.
