Commercial Alliance Group Pays Investors Ahead of Schedule
Central Avenue Townhomes, Palm Coast Resort Earn Early Returns
SANFORD, Fla.–(EMWNews)–Commercial Alliance Group (CAG), a Central Florida real estate
development and financial services firm, has made early distributions to
its individual and institutional accredited investors in two private
offerings. The early distributions are related to the company’s
positions in Central Florida real estate development projects. The
projects include a moderately priced commercial/residential development
in the Orlando suburb, Oviedo, FL and the Palm Coast Resort, a
luxurious waterfront condominium resort in Palm Coast, FL.
Commercial Alliance Group Vice President Scott Colon noted that
the final redemption distribution on the Central Avenue Townhomes
private offering was nearly two years ahead of schedule. The first
distribution to Palm Coast Resort investors came from new
condominium inventory resale proceeds less than three months after the
company acquired the waterfront condos in a bulk purchase from Centex
Homes, a publicly traded national homebuilder.
Central Avenue Townhomes: Oviedo, Florida
Commercial Alliance Group was the exclusive senior capital
placement agent for the townhomes and office project, and directly
funded a mezzanine loan facility of up to $1 million. Since funding the
project in November 2006, CAG worked with the developer to
acquire an adjoining parcel and expand the townhome project from 52 to
58 units.
“As a result of a project refinancing
concluded during the tenure of our exclusive senior capital placement
agency, our mezzanine loan was prepaid in July. In accordance with the
terms of our private offering related to the mezzanine loan, our
investors’ interests in the loan were fully
redeemed earlier than forecast,” CAG
Vice President Scott Colon said. “This deal
was expected to mature in June 2010 but went full cycle for our
investors in approximately one-half of the contract term. While this
transaction was small in terms of the typical transaction in our
portfolio, we are very pleased with the results.”
Palm Coast Resort: Palm Coast, Florida
Commercial Alliance Group made its first distribution to
investors from its first condominium inventory resale proceeds in
accordance with the terms of the company’s
private offering.
Commercial Alliance Group purchased 31 of the 72 luxury
condominiums on the Intracoastal Waterway from Centex Homes, which
completed the project in 2007. All condominiums at the Palm Coast
Resort range in size from 1,350+/- to 2,000+/- square feet of living
space and feature upgraded finishes, stainless steel appliances, granite
countertops, screened patios, and views of the Intracoastal Waterway. Palm
Coast Resort also includes a 96-slip marina.
Each of the company’s purchasers may apply for
membership in The Ocean Club at Hammock Beach, an exclusive Ginn
Resorts facility located within 3 miles of the Palm Coast Resort.
Memberships are restricted to property owners in select Ginn and Centex
communities. The Ocean Club at Hammock Beach members may enjoy
fine dining, the oceanfront complex of five pools, and indulge in the
10,000-square-foot spa. Members may enjoy world-class golf on the Jack
Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course and the Tom Watson-designed Conservatory
Course. Equity golf membership upgrades are available.
Centex released these units for preconstruction sale in August
2006 at prices ranging from $875,000 to $1,345,000. CAG has
opened a sales office at the Florida resort located approximately 80
miles northeast of Orlando situated on the Atlantic coast midway between
St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, where prices now start at $430,000. Stirling
Sotheby’s International Realty has been appointed as CAG’s
exclusive sales and marketing representative for Palm Coast Resort.

More Florida Projects Sought
Scott Colon noted that Commercial Alliance Group is experiencing
growth in both its financing and real estate development divisions. With
its portfolio performing well, CAG is looking for more
acquisitions and finance opportunities.
“The liquidity crisis in the banking industry
has contributed to our growth,” Colon said. “Our
lending and financing operations are expanding to provide senior
acquisition and development credit in addition to our traditional
subordinate debt and equity products.
“We continue to look at and acquire
world-class properties in Florida and other markets previously
characterized by high growth and rising asset values. We are especially
interested in resort, waterfront communities with marinas and
hospitality and gaming projects. We are positioning the company to be an
important player now and in the future as real estate market conditions
improve. We are enjoying a time of opportunity and prosperity which we
are sharing with our investors.”
