Estate Companies, led by Robert Suris, completed Soleste Twenty2 last year, after scoring a $57.8 million construction loan from Florida Community Bank in 2018. It is 97 percent leased, the company said.
Estate, known for its Soleste multifamily brand, develops throughout South Florida, although it has focused heavily on West Miami. It built and sold Soleste West Gables I, Soleste West Gables II, and with other partners, Soleste Club Prado.
Last year, it completed the 306-unit Soleste Alameda, also in West Miami. It’s 80 pre-leased and 77 percent occupied, Suris said.
Most recently, it embarked on its Alture brand, scoring $29.5 million in construction financing to turn a closed Ramada Inn in Hialeah into the 251-unit Alture Westland.
Westdale, founded in 1991 and led by Joe Beard owns 200 commercial real estate properties in 30 cities, according to its website. It has a capitalization of more than $5 billion.
In 2018, Beard bought a three-bedroom penthouse at 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach for $5.6 million.
