Codina Partners obtained a short-term $20.6 million construction loan for a portion of its Downtown Doral project, The Real Deal has learned.

Ocean Bank gave Codina-managed Downtown Doral Townhomes the mortgage on Thursday, according to Miami-Dade County records. The loan, which matures in April 2016, is secured by 7.2 acres within the 120-acre Downtown Doral site. Codina can obtain future advances of up to $42 million over the next 20 years

Codina received a $6.6 million subordinate land loan for the site from Koala Miami Realty Holding Co. in October 2013. Last month, the company filed a commencement notice with the county indicating roadway improvements, landscaping and other site work would begin within three months.
