Miami-based Billden, an Xavier Hawley company, acquired the rights on a 22-story, 278-unit luxury condo-hotel project. On its Internet site, the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce says it anticipated construction to begin in December with completion in 2003.

Besides his affiliation with Billden, Hawley manages Aventura, FL-based Billden Advertising Inc. and is a partner with Gilbert Benhamou in Aventura-based Signature Developers of South Florida Inc.

The divesture is part of a company strategy to transition into a provider of Internet infrastructure and managed services from a full-service commercial real estate company.

"This sale follows Terremark's plan to exit lines of business not directly related to the company's core strategy of deploying TerreNAP Data Centers in emerging markets," Manuel D. Medina, Terremark chairman and chief executive officer, says in a prepared statement.

Just recently, the Miami company officially switched on the NAP of the Americas, a subsidiary operation that operates the fifth tier-one Internet network access point ever developed.
