Developer (JDS) is having trouble with another project
Quote:
Silverstein Properties has taken over the tower’s rental, retail, and unsold condo units from JDS Development in a $672 million deal. Silverstein had provided a $240 million loan for the tower, which JDS defaulted on in 2019, leading to a foreclosure auction scheduled for June 1. The auction was delayed and eventually avoided after Michael Stern of JDS transferred a preferred equity piece in the tower to Silverstein in order to restructure his debt, according to The Real Deal.
The asset involved in this transaction is a defaulted note associated with the Mercedes-Benz Places Miami, located at 1133 Southwest 2nd Avenue in Miami. The transaction occurred on March 27, 2026.
Summary of transaction details:
Property Type: Note / Loan
Transaction Amount: Not specified
Address: 1133 Southwest 2nd Avenue
Market: Miami
Buyer: Mark Green & Alexander Shing - Cottonwood Group
The transaction was representative of the Cottonwood Group, with Mark Green and Alexander Shing acting as the buyers in this deal.
Another one of JDS Development Group’s high-profile projects is the subject of a court dispute after its new lender filed an $80M foreclosure lawsuit on the site of the developer's planned Mercedes-Benz-branded condo tower.
An affiliate of The Cottonwood Group filed to foreclose on the site at 100 NE Eighth St. in Brickell less than a month after it acquired a bridge loan that was allegedly in default, according to its suit filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court last week.
