Newmark announces it has arranged $1.2 billion and $550 million loans on behalf of Fontainebleau Development for the refinancing of award-winning South Florida resorts Fontainebleau Miami Beach and the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa, respectively. Newmark Co-Presidents of Global Debt & Structured Finance Jordan Roeschlaub and Jonathan Firestone, Vice Chairman Nick Scribani, Managing Director Tyler Dumon and Director John Caraviello secured the financing from Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan on both transactions.

“These financings underscore the enduring appeal of South Florida’s premier hospitality assets,” said Roeschlaub. “The Fontainebleau Miami Beach and JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa are iconic destinations and exemplars of innovation in the luxury resort market. These transactions highlight the confidence that institutional capital has in best-in-class assets and operators in this dynamic region.”
