New Class A Boutique Office Slated For Merrick Park

Constellation Group, a Miami-based commercial real estate investment and development firm, and The Boschetti Group announced they have secured a $33 million construction loan from Miami-based Banesco USA and Abanca for its upcoming office and retail development located at 4225 Ponce de Leon Boulevard in South Florida’s Coral Gables.

The Class A+ boutique office and retail development is poised to elevate the heart of Coral Gables’ Merrick Park district.

Colliers will be handling leasing for both the office and retail spaces.

“We are very excited about the latest milestone in creating 4225 Ponce. We are also proud of our partnership with Abanca and Banesco USA which has entrusted us to develop a Class A+ destination that embodies the true essence of Coral Gables’ elegance and sophistication,” said Eduardo Otaola, Managing Principal at Constellation Group. “This development will provide a well-located boutique-style Class A office building to Coral Gables in a complicated yet supply-constrained environment.”

The eight-story property will be between 4225 and 4311 Ponce de Leon and will span approximately 85,000 square feet. Arquitectonica has designed the luxury boutique-style Class A Office to include 5,900 square feet of ground floor retail space, parking, 70,000 square feet of premier office space, and a 7,000 square foot rooftop food and beverage venue offering stunning panoramic views of the city.

“Given the area’s sustained economic vitality, Banesco USA remains bullish on South Florida and is excited to grow our portfolio with Constellation Group by providing the financing for 4225 Ponce,” said Amelia Rodriguez, Senior Vice President of Banesco USA. “Coral Gables is in the midst of a residential and commercial building boom that continues to attract more residents and businesses. 4225 Ponce will add new product to the market, merging innovative Class A+ office spaces with dynamic ground-floor retail offerings, poised to further enhance the City Beautiful’s standing as a premier business and cultural destination. Banesco USA is proud to play a role in making this vision a reality and look forward to financing more innovative projects like this one in the future.”

 

“We are delighted to collaborate with Constellation Group and Banesco USA on this transformative endeavor to reinvigorate The City Beautiful,” said Monica Vasquez, General Manager at Abanca. “This partnership reflects ABANCA’s commitment to supporting visionary projects that not only redefine the urban landscape but also contribute to the cultural and economic vitality of the community, and we look forward to witnessing the positive impact it will have on Coral Gables’ dynamic and vibrant atmosphere.”

The estimated groundbreaking date is set for Q4 2023 and is expected to be completed in 2025.
