The co-CEO of a private equity firm bought a spec home in Boca Raton’s Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club for $6.7 million.

Records show Steven H. Rosen, as trustee of a trust in his name, purchased the house at 246 Princess Palm Road from Robert J. Edwards, whose address links to Boca Raton-based SRD Building Corp.

Rosen is the founder and co-CEO of Resilience Capital Partners, a Cleveland-based private equity firm that makes investments in the $10 million to $75 million range, according to its website. Rosen founded the firm in 2001.

Rosen financed the purchase with a $5.4 million loan from JPMorgan Chase Bank, records show.

Edwards bought the property in February 2019 for $1.7 million, demolished the existing house and constructed a new one, property records show. The home was built by SRD.
