A joint venture between affiliates of Starwood Capital Group, Hyperion Group, and Winter Properties has secured $96.4 million in construction financing from JP Morgan for the development of a 22-story residential building at 201 Clearwater Drive in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. 

The project, which is being developed by Hyperion, will have 457 apartments, 7,000 square feet of ground floor retail, a 628-space parking garage, and over 34,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities.
