UPDATE: 101 Via Mizner Bankruptcy Ends in Fire Sale

Back in December, Blackstone initiated foreclosure on this Class A Boca Raton multifamily asset, Via Mizner. We posted last month about the borrower's bankruptcy and the sponsor’s claimed $272.5MM valuation.

The result of the bankruptcy is in.  Sold for $235M, well below the non-bankruptcy reported value and and Grant Cardone, which will be merging this asset with a $100MM bitcoin fund with a planned condo exit

The result:

• Sponsor equity effectively wiped out

• Six months of legal wrangling

• Fire-sale exit instead of strategic monetization

What failed wasn’t just the project. It was the structure.

No bankruptcy-remote protections.

No independent directors.

When governance is weak, one asset’s distress becomes platform-wide risk.

Real independence isn’t optional; it’s protection.

And it’s what was missing here.
