Miami, Florida, June 13, 2008 Bilzin Sumberg Baena Price & Axelrod LLP announced that attorney Martin A. Schwartz, Partner in the Real Estate Group, represented the lender in the negotiation and structuring of a $4 million increase to an exiting loan for a total loan amount of $12.6 million. The financing is for the commercial portion of Ten Museum Park located at 1040 Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami, Florida. Ten Museum Park, has a 50-story mixed use building containing 200 residential units and a commercial portion consisting of offices, a spa, restaurant, and retail.

Beautymed USA Inc was the borrower under the loan and 1040 Biscayne Commercial LLC and Islavista Properties, Inc., both affiliates of the borrower, guaranteed the loan.

The current loan increases the total amount of financing provided on this building to $92,600,000. $80,000,000 was previously provided by the lender for construction financing.

Although the increase in the loan amount was relatively modest, the transaction necessitated a substantial amount of paperwork based on the various collateral and the multiple guarantors.

Borrowers Counsel: The borrower was represented by Denise L. Ben-David and Steve Waserstein from Ferrell Law.
