For the last 4+ years, Paramount Beach has been trying to sell condos in its prime oceanfront location in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. It had purchased 2.2 acres of oceanfront property at 16901 Collins Avenue. The plan was for a 47 story building consisting of 232 units. The sales office showed elaborate models, brochures and floorplans. No construction was started at the property location.
In February this year, iStar FM Loans sold the delinquent mortgage to Sunny Isles Property Holdings, which is managed to Carlos Mattos. This past Tuesday the group won a $26.2 million judgement. According to sources, this will give Mattos’s company the inside track at taking the property at the public sale on Sept 4 in the Miami-Dade County Courthouse.
You may recognize the Mattos name. He has been very active in Miami Real Estate recently. On June 17, 2009 a company affiliated with Mattos paid about $6 million for 31 units at 1060 Brickell Avenue, in Miami. Another company affiliated with his business partner, Jorge Mattos recently paid $5.7 million for 21 units at Marina Blue in Marina.
This is not the only foreclosure on the beach in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida.
BankFirst has also filed an $11.7 million foreclosure lawsuit against the developer of the proposed Regalia condominium in Sunny Isles Beach.
The Minneapolis-based bank filed the foreclosure action on June 15, 2009 against Aventura-based Regalia LLC and company members Jerold M. Kaufman, Abraham Cohen, Paul C. Murphy and Avra J. Jain, according to Miami-Dade County Circuit Court records. The action targets the vacant 1.14-acre beachfront site at 19505 Collins Ave. in Sunny Isles Beach.
Regalia got approval to build the 43-story, 40-unit condo, but construction never got under way. The preconstruction prices were from $6.3 million to $14.5 million for the 5,515-square-foot units with 2,100 square feet of balcony space.

BankFirst’s lawsuit also names British Virgin Islands-based Kannon Investment Business, which gave Regalia a $5 million second mortgage.
Regalia bought the site in 2001 for $9 million.

We're starting to see more foreclosures on the Seattle waterfront, too, but not nearly the numbers you have in S. Florida. Hopefully things are starting to bottom out.
