Joseph Elbling heads Digicon S.A., a maker of ATMs and cash dispenser machines. But the Elblings didn’t pay all cash for their new condo. Records show they financed the purchase with a $5.24 million mortgage from J.P. Morgan Chase.

Fort Partners completed the project, which includes a 77-room hotel and two 12-story residential towers, earlier this year. The Surf Club development features a private club, two restaurants, four swimming pools, cabanas, a gym and oceanside gardens. It was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Richard Meier with Kobi Karp, and was built on the site of the former private beach club founded in 1930 by Harvey Firestone and designed by Russell Pancoast.

Units range from $3.7 million to $31 million, and from 1,800 square feet to more than 7,000 square feet. Other buyers include a former Esquire publisher, telecommunications tycoon Rajendra Singh and former Publix Super Markets CEO Charles Jenkins Jr.
