Michael SHVO, in partnership with Deutsche Finance America and a group of German institutional pension funds, landed $190 million to redevelop the historic Raleigh property in Miami Beach.

The loan from BH3 Management’s Debt Opportunity Fund II will go toward adding a 17-story condo tower, designed by Peter Marino and Kobi Karp, and restoring the eight-story hotel, which was originally completed in 1940. In all, the oceanfront development will house 42 condo units and 60 hotel suites, managed by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts.

“This transaction underscores the reality that despite today’s challenging capital markets environment, liquidity remains readily available for proven sponsors determined to develop unique assets in established markets,” Aaron Appel, senior managing director and co-head of the New York capital markets team at Walker & Dunlop, who brokered the debt along with W&D’s Jonathan Schwartz, Keith Kurland and Adam Schwartz, said in a statement. 

The mortgage, which closed last Wednesday, replaces $146.8 million in debt amassed since 2o19, said a spokesperson for the lender. Construction has been underway since 2022, and The Raleigh is expected to reopen in 2026. 

Shvo’s financing comes shortly after Witkoff secured $430 million — likely South Florida’s largest construction loan — to complete a similar development. Witkoff is redeveloping the historic Shore Club just one block north of The Raleigh, in a similar fashion: restoring the existing property, which dates back to 1938, and adding a condo tower.

Shvo and Deutsche Finance America, the U.S. real estate private equity platform of Munich-based Deutsche Finance Group, acquired the property and two buildings just south of it, at 1751, 1757 and 1775 Collins Avenue, four years ago for a combined $220 million, property records show. Together, the parcels amount to 2.8 acres.

Besides The Raleigh project in Miami Beach, Shvo is developing a 250,000-square-foot office on Alton Road and redeveloping the clock tower building on Lincoln Road, both of which boast Norman Foster as the architect.

Outside Florida, the New York-based developer’s portfolio includes the iconic Transamerica Pyramid office building in San Francisco and the Mandarin Oriental Residences in Beverly Hills.

In addition to providing both debt and equity today, BH3 Management— led by Gregory Freedman and Daniel Lebensohn—  is a prominent developer in South Florida. The Fort Lauderdale-based firm is the developer behind Privé at Island Estates in Aventura, and in April it purchased a 10-acre ground lease on Watson Island, a publicly owned enclave between Downtown Miami and South Beach, where it plans to build a mixed-use development in partnership with Merrimac Ventures. In New York, its projects include 125 Greenwich and Bloom on 45th.

Correction: The $190 million loan will replace, not add to the existing debt as previously reported.

For those with limited to no DIY skills, repairing or replacing a faulty roof will seem like a complex job. A skilled roofer, however, will know how to fix most kinds of roof damage.

Knowing the lifespan of your roofing material and how the local climate will affect it can help you decide when repair or replacement is necessary.

Roofing Services in St. Louis

Regardless of the roofing company in St. Louis that you choose, most will offer a lot of the same services, including:

• Roof inspections that identify:
• Repairs and maintenance
• Shingle and tile repair
• Installation or replacement
• Insulating
• Weatherproofing
• Flashing repair
• Ventilating
• Soffit and fascia repair
• Debris removal
• Roof cleaning (pressure washing away moss, mold, mildew and buildup)
• Sealing, treating or painting (especially for wood or metal roofs)
• Skylight repair or replacement
• Solar panel installation

While these are the typical services offered, you should speak directly to each company that you’re considering to get a full list of the exact services that they offer. On average, you can expect to pay between $35 to $52 for labor alone for most roofing projects.

If you’re already planning a roof repair or replacement project, you should have your gutters checked simultaneously. While there are pros that tackle gutter-specific projects, most roofers can handle this work as well, in addition to some siding and window projects. Before you decide which pro you’ll hire, ask all prospective roofing companies if they offer additional services outside of just roofing, and consider bundling roofing projects with others your pro offers to save time and money.

Signs You Need Roof Repair

If your roof needs repair, a few things—such as pest damage—will clue you in. According to a recent Forbes Home survey, 50% of homeowners experienced home damage caused by pests. Additionally, if you see interior or exterior damage or find sunlight leaking in through unintentional holes in the roof, you may need to schedule a repair.

The following types of roof damage are other things to look out for, as they may signal the need for repairs.

Natural Damage

Nature can often cause all types of damage to your roof. Broken tree branches, moderate winds and routine rainstorms are common, though, so most roofing materials should be able to withstand them. However, when more extreme weather conditions arise, it’s best to have a professional check your roof for damages.

Installation Issues

When you’re able to see extensive amounts of tar covering the flashing directly after a roof installation or repair, it’s highly likely that the job was done poorly. You may also need to check for kick-out flashing that’s missing from the bottom or dormer wall intersections. The good news is most skilled roofing contractors can add the missing components so you don’t have to buy a new roof.

Leaks

While roof leaks are bad, finding the leak in question can be even more challenging. And houses with flat or pitched roofs are more prone to leaks than others because the material they’re made of (typically tar, rubber or plastic) degrades faster than other surfaces like stone or clay.

Improper Ventilation

Homes with poor ventilation may experience more roofing problems. And you’ll know you have a ventilation problem if there’s condensation anywhere in your attic, under your roof or elsewhere. It’s helpful to also monitor your attic for delaminating (separating of layers) plywood. When the temperature rises in spring and summer, you may notice that the higher floors in your home won’t stay cool. If that’s the case, your attic may benefit from additional venting. A professional can help fix the problem and determine whether you need a repair or an entirely new vent system.
