A joint venture between L&L Holding Co. and Oak Row Equities has closed on a $215 million construction loan for the development of The Wynwood Plaza, a 1 million-square-foot mixed-used project in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District. Shorenstein Properties LLC and co-investor Claure Group are also part of the development team.
Newmark’s Capital Markets Debt & Structured Finance team assisting the developers in financing the project was led by Vice Chairmen & Co-Heads Jordan Roeschlaub and Dustin Stolly. Managing Director Scott Wadler and Vice President Michael Basinski of Berkadia arranged the Bank OZK financing on behalf of the borrowers.
With full financing in place, the development is slated for completion in 2025. Architecture firm Gensler will serve as designer and architect of record, while James Corner Field Operations will oversee the landscape architecture efforts at the property.

To complement the luxury residential landscape, the project will comprise 32,000 square feet of retail space, including 6,600 square feet of outdoor dining. The development will also provide a variety of retail options along the main pedestrian walkway, including a diverse selection of shops, storefronts, convenience stores and dining options, ranging from casual eateries to lifestyle boutiques.
The office element of The Wynwood Plaza will feature adaptable layouts and a variety of amenities, aimed at creating an ideal work environment for today’s workforce. These amenities will include a gym, a café and lounge, outdoor seating areas on the rooftop, as well as conference and teamwork areas.
