MIAMI, FL. July 17, 2017 - Mast Capital, a Miami-based investment and development firm, and Angelo, Gordon & Co. have completed the purchase of Conrad Miami from Holborn LC for $72M. This was a transaction facilitated by Christian Charre, Paul Weimer and Natalie Castillo of CBRE Hotels. The hotel is a flagship, trophy asset situated within the iconic Brickell Arch Tower and occupies an entire block within Miami's vibrant Financial District. The tower contains 267,000 rentable square feet of Class A office, 203 hotel keys, and 116 luxury residential units. The interest purchased includes 203 hotel keys, a rooftop amenity deck, and a rental program, which currently has 41 out of 116 residential units participating.

Following the sale, the joint venture will enter into the first Conrad Hotels & Resorts franchise agreement in the United States with HEI Hotels & Resorts, an industry leading hospitality platform, as property manager. An extensive rooms and public space renovation is planned to further elevate the property's luxury offerings and create a more energized food and beverage experience.

“This property was extremely compelling because of its prominent location on Brickell Avenue and world class architectural design,” said Camilo Miguel Jr., CEO of Mast Capital. “It is exciting to have the opportunity to fully realize the potential of the property. We are confident that the Conrad brand's concept of smart luxury will be favored by guests and residents for years to come.”

Mast Capital was represented by Kimberly LeCompte (acquisition), Joel Maser (corporate), Iris Escarra (zoning), Nancy Lash (loan), Nelson Migdal (hospitality) Andrew Sharpe (acquisition) and Brian Dombrowski (zoning) from Greenberg Traurig's Miami, Washington D.C. and Fort Lauderdale offices. Lauren Giovannone and Michael Bradford from Paul Hastings' Los Angeles office acted as co-counsel with Greenberg Traurig.

The seller was represented by Suzanne Amaducci-Adams and Alexander Roitman (disposition) from Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod LLP's Miami office.
