Berkadia Arranges $100.4M Refinancing Of Palm Beach Gardens Trophy Office Asset

/in , /by

Berkadia has facilitated an $100.4 million loan for Gatsby Florida to refinance DiVosta Towers, a 220,000-square-foot Class A office campus in Palm Beach Gardens.

One of the newest trophy office towers in Palm Beach County, DiVosta Towers consists of two 11-story office towers and a connected structured parking facility. The property is fully leased and home to a diverse roster of national and global tenants.

Senior Managing Director Charles Foschini, Managing Director Scott Wadler and Associate Director Shannon Wilson of Berkadia Miami arranged the loan on behalf of the sponsor, Gatsby Florida.

Cirrus Real Estate Partners provided a three-year, floating-rate, interest-only loan. Proceeds will refinance the existing loan Berkadia arranged in 2022 and position the asset for continued performance.

“In today’s lending environment, office is the most scrutinized asset class, and refinancing even high-quality properties has become increasingly selective,” said Foschini. “DiVosta Towers stands apart. With full occupancy, institutional-caliber tenancy, and a location where new supply is effectively constrained, this was exactly the type of asset lenders are still willing to back.”

 

“Palm Beach Gardens has emerged as one of the strongest office submarkets in the country, supported by strong in-migration and massive corporate investments in and around West Palm Beach,” added Wadler. “Office rents are up more than 90% over the past decade, and that growth is being driven by real fundamentals. The building’s location and performance coupled with best-in-class ownership and management made this deal possible. The Gatsby Florida team has employed a class-leading tenant program in the building and continues to outperform in the state.”

 

“Since taking ownership of the properties in 2020 and completing the full lease-up and construction of the towers we have been able to attract, and continue to attract, some of the best global firms to our property,” added Isaac Schalom, Vice President, Gatsby Florida. “By having a hands-on approach to the management, leasing and all other aspects we continue to add value to this strategic asset in Palm Beach County.”

Located at 3825 and 3835 PGA Boulevard, DiVosta Towers was completed in 2019 and 2020 and is a highly visible landmark along I-95, distinguished by its two Louvre pyramid-inspired architectural frameworks. It was the first new office development delivered in the submarket in more than a decade. Tenants include JP Morgan, Wealthspire Advisors, Virtu Financial, and others.

The campus features floor-to-ceiling glass, 10-foot ceiling heights, and a best-in-class amenity package, including structured parking with direct lobby access, tenant conference and event space, high-speed elevators, EV charging stations, and outdoor gathering areas. DiVosta towers in the newest office building in the submarket in over 15 years.

“These buildings are visible 24/7 from I-95, A1A, PGA Boulevard, and other streets throughout Palm Beach Gardens. They are iconic in design and an example of our firm’s brand. We are very happy with their performance and look forward to maintaining this standard across all of our properties. We are excited to begin construction this year on the newest office tower in this underserved market—The Modern. This building will complement what we have achieved at DiVosta Towers and serve best-in-class global tenants relocating to Palm Beach County,” said Babak Ebrahimzadeh, President of Gatsby Florida.

Tenants benefit from immediate access to more than 2.5 million square feet of surrounding retail, including The Gardens Mall, as well as a 130,000-square-foot Life Time fitness facility directly across the street. The property is prominently positioned along PGA Boulevard and State Road A1A, one of the region’s most sought-after commercial corridors.

Gatsby Florida, a premier developer of high-profile commercial and residential properties across South Florida, announced the details and plan for The Modern at Palm Beach Gardens, a 220,000 square-foot office tower designed to meet unprecedented demand from relocating financial, legal and Fortune 500 institutions.

The Modern, strategically located in Palm Beach Gardens, represents Gatsby Florida’s continued commitment to providing best-in-class assets in the state’s most desirable markets. The project is specifically engineered to cater to the discerning tastes of corporate tenants migrating from high-tax, high-cost environments, with a particular focus on companies exiting New York following the recent election of Mayor Mamdani.

Gatsby Florida has already completed construction plans and looks to begin construction in January 2026. The project is scheduled to turn over spaces for tenant buildouts by the first quarter of 2027, with a projected grand opening in late 2027.

“We already have about 25% of the building’s space committed to and look forward to rapid lease-up,” said Isaac Shalom, Vice President of Gatsby Florida.  “As the only new Class AA office building under development in Palm Beach Gardens, we recognize the large, unfilled tenant demand in the marketplace and look forward to welcoming top National and International companies to our new tower.”

 

“The consistent corporate exodus from New York City and surrounding areas has been amplified by the recent election, increasing the urgency for firms seeking a more favorable and stable business climate,” said Babak “Bobby” Ebrahimzadeh, Co-Founder of Gatsby Florida. “The Modern is specifically tailored to the high-end standards these top-tier New York corporations expect. We’ve seen that New Yorkers prefer the established, exclusive environment of Palm Beach Gardens, and this building will provide a spectacular work environment—top-of-the-line in all aspects, including ease of access, proximity to housing, and quality of construction.”

The Modern will provide the next generation of premier, secure and amenity-rich office space necessary to accommodate this heavy influx of financial and corporate capital. The 8-story tower’s Class A 25,000 square-foot office floorplates are complemented by a vibrant array of culinary options. The ground floor will house a proposed 10,000-square-foot fine-dining restaurant and a 4,000-square-foot casual dining concept, with an additional 7,000 square feet of quick service and retail uses conveniently situated under the adjacent parking garage.

Palm Beach Gardens offers exceptional demographics and has already proven to be a magnet for corporate relocations, evidenced by the success of Gatsby Florida’s nearby DiVosta Towers project, which is currently 100% leased and hosts financial giants like J.P. Morgan and Stifel Investment Banking.

The Modern is designed to capture the accelerated demand from financial institutions, private equity firms, law firms, and Fortune 500 companies with a strong affinity for Palm Beach Gardens high quality of life. The area is home to world-class golf course communities, including the PGA National Golf Club & Resort, and is seeing massive residential growth with 1,000 new apartments opening in the immediate vicinity.

The Modern at Palm Beach Gardens joins Gatsby Florida’s distinguished portfolio of landmark properties throughout South Florida, which includes DiVosta Towers in Palm Beach Gardens, 800 Brickell in Miami’s Financial District, One Town Center in Boca Raton and 550 Okeechobee in West Palm Beach.
