Legacy Hotel & Residences. Designed by Kobi Karp.Dania Beach-based real estate developer Royal Palm Companies has landed a massive $340 million construction loan from New York City-based Silverstein Capital Partners for Legacy Hotel & Residences, a 51-story mixed-use building planned for 938 Northeast 1st Avenue within the 27-acre Miami Worldcenter master-planned development. The loan marks the third largest financing package executed in the state of Florida, and will allow for the vertical construction of the 690-foot-tall structure projected to yield nearly 1 million square feet. Renowned Miami architect Kobi Karp designed the modern Art-Deco inspired tower, and will feature interiors by ID & Design International.
Silverstein Capital Partners is the lending arm of Silverstein Properties, owned and led by Larry Silverstein, who owns, develops and operates a $10 billion portfolio of office, residential, hotel, retail and mixed-use properties. Silverstein Properties is known for the redevelopment of the World Trade Center in Manhattan post 9/11.
