The Schlesinger family-owned company, based in West Palm Beach and Freeport, New York, raised $19 million on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange to help finance the purchase, The Real Deal previously reported.  Due to high demand, the bonds were priced at 104.9 percent of the initial asking price.

That brings the total in financing up to $74.9 million. The company said in the bond offering that it plans to renovate the properties, built between 1986 and 1988.

Copperline specializes in developing and managing multifamily real estate with a focus in Florida, New York and Connecticut. Its portfolio in South Florida includes the Mayfair Hotel and Spa, the Gulfstream Hotel in Lake Worth and the Brazilian Court Condominium Hotel in Palm Beach.  Last year, the firm raised $85 million through a bond offering on the Israeli market, as U.S. real estate firms continue to look to the bond market as a source of capital.
