Bankruptcy Watch

Built in 1898 and located in downtown Atlanta’s Fairlie-Poplar District, the Grant Building was acquired in late 2022 for conversion into a 155–165 room serviced apartment and hotel concept. With limited in-place occupancy, layered financing, and the inherent complexity of historic redevelopment, the project faced mounting structural pressure as market conditions shifted.

This update on the 340 Biscayne Boulevard Chapter 11 bankruptcy examines how capital structure, auction process, and entity design shaped outcomes for a Downtown Miami redevelopment site.

The delivery of a multifamily asset does not guarantee financial stability. Neo on First’s Chapter 11 filing highlights how post-delivery liquidity strain, leverage, and governance gaps can converge, turning a completed project into a distressed one.

This case underscores how distress that is not properly isolated can resurface, even after a project appears “resolved.”

A downtown Austin property scheduled for foreclosure paused the process with a last-minute Chapter 11 filing, offering a clear look into how leverage, timing, and entity structure interact in today’s commercial real estate market. The case shows that while single-asset LLCs can isolate risk, they cannot compensate for high leverage and weak structural safeguards in redevelopment-driven assets.
