Hundreds of unsold units in Everglades on the Bay, a Downtown Miami condo project, will be handed back to lenders as part of a bankruptcy deal, the Miami Herald reported. If approved in court, the deal would settle the Chapter 11 bankruptcy case

Cabi filed for bankruptcy. To date, 137 of the
849 units have been sold at Everglades on the Bay, and 712 remain unsold, according to Peter Zalewski, principal of the real estate
consultancy Condo
Vultures.
