Why You May Want a Non-Traditional Lender

MIAMI—When SC Property Acquisitions landed its $290 million construction loan to develop Surf Club Four Seasons Private Residences and Four Seasons Hotel in Surfside, FL, attorney Luis Flores was working behind the scenes. Flores also worked on the $120 million construction loan for Biscayne Beach and the $112 million loan on Hyde Beach.

At least one condo project, Ion East Edgewater, has already stalled in the current cycle.
