Marc Roberts, along with partners PMG, secures nearly $150M in construction financing for the first condo tower. Co-owners of E11EVEN Residences & Hotels, Michael Simkins and Roberts sold two key pieces of land in the downtown Miami area which led to the development of tower 1.

Miami Block 17 LLC, led by E11EVEN Partners' Simkins, sold the 9,125 square-foot stretch of land at 1025 North Miami Avenue to 11th Street Trustee LLC, led by PMG's Ryan Shear. The land sold was previously owned by Simkins and Roberts. According to property records, Miami NE 11th LLC also sold the property at 20 and 30 NE 11th Street to the PMG affiliate for over $5 million.
