Berman was previously chairman of Fairfax Savings in Baltimore, according to published reports. Berman’s Boulder Hotel Management paid $16.25 million for the Courtyard by Marriott hotel in Coral Springs in August 2017.

Greene is a former Democratic gubernatorial candidate and real estate investor who made a fortune during the subprime mortgage crisis. He is building a two-tower, 30-story mixed-use project in downtown West Palm Beach. He previously threatened to stop construction if he can’t get the property rezoned. Greene wants to change the project’s zoning from hotel, office space and multifamily to all multifamily.
