  2. For allocators, the $463 million package is $45 million larger than Bank OZK's $418 million and covers a largely presold project.

Madison Realty Capital provided a $463 million construction debt package to Fortune International Group and Château Group for the St. Regis Residences in Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., Commercial Observer reported.

Presales have reached 80% of units and generated more than $1.6 billion in sales, according to a representative for the sponsors. That puts the $463 million loan at roughly 29% of presales, assuming the total covers both towers.

The North Tower, 150 units, has not started construction and secured $114 million from City National Bank of Florida earlier this year.

Madison Realty supplied $630 million last year to Gil Dezer for a nearby Bentley-branded oceanfront condo tower, $167 million larger than this package.

The South Tower is expected to be completed by the end of 2028, according to the sponsors' representative.
