Overview

Why this opportunity, in plain language.

Alma & Mila are two boutique condominium projects on the same block in Bay Harbor Islands. They are designed, entitled, marketed, and ready. The only thing standing between today and groundbreaking is capital sequencing — exactly what this partnership solves.

Capital pays off the land

Your investment immediately retires the existing $5.5M land loan, eliminating future interest carry.

Build starts immediately

No need to pre-sell units to qualify for a construction loan. Site mobilization begins in week one.

Compressed 24-month exit

Vertical construction across both buildings in parallel. Closings begin around month 22.

Underwritten conservatively

Sales modeled at $1,100/ft. Active comps in Bay Harbor are listing $1,200–$1,600/ft.

The Projects

Two boutique buildings. One block.

The Location

Bay Harbor Islands.

  • Guard-gated island village — about 6,000 residents
  • Walking distance to Bal Harbour Shops
  • A-rated K–8 Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor School
  • 10 minutes to Miami Beach, 20 minutes to MIA
  • Severely supply-constrained — almost no large new construction permitted
Why it matters

Bay Harbor's zoning caps height and density. Every new boutique unit replaces older stock — pricing is structurally protected on the upside.

Direct Market Comps

$1,100/ft is the floor — not the ceiling.

The Opportunity

Capital today removes every bottleneck.

Without this partnership, the projects must wait for pre-sales to qualify for a construction loan — adding 12–18 months and significant carry costs. Your capital eliminates that gate entirely.

01
Pay off the land

Retires the $5.5M land loan immediately. Removes monthly carry and roughly $1M of forecasted interest expense.

02
Skip the pre-sale gate

No waiting on a construction lender's pre-sale requirement. Break ground on day one.

03
Compress the timeline

Targeted delivery in ≤24 months. Less time at risk. Faster return of capital and profit.

Two years to delivery.

From signed JV to first closings.

Month 0
JV Closing

Capital wired. Land loan retired the same week. Carry stops.

Month 1–2
Mobilization

GC contracts executed, permits pulled, site work begins.

Month 3–18
Vertical Construction

Both buildings built in parallel — not sequentially.

Month 18–22
Sales Velocity

Active sales push through to delivery; broker network already engaged.

Month 22–24
TCO & Closings

Closings begin. Capital and profit returned to investor.

Built to underwrite cleanly.

How the major project risks are mitigated or managed.

Mitigated · Capital Sequencing

JV close eliminates dependency on a construction lender's pre-sale covenant.

Mitigated · Land Carry

Land loan retired at close — no further interest accrual.

Managed · Construction

Fixed-price GC contracts. Contingency reserves carried inside the $44.3M cost base.

Managed · Sales Velocity

Underwritten at $1,100/ft — the floor of comps. 20–35% upside cushion to current asking prices.
