The firm also holds investments in Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach.

Kushner has established a broad national real estate platform across residential, commercial, retail and hospitality. With deep experience in multifamily and mixed-use development, the firm continues to scale its footprint in  South Florida with completed development projects in Edgewater and Wynwood with several others in the pipeline .

Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets Institutional Advisory, led by Aaron Appel, Jonathan Schwartz, Adam Schwartz, Keith Kurland, and Sean Bastian, arranged the financing on behalf of Cain.

“We’ve been investing in South Florida for nearly a decade and have long been confident in the market, which we believe continues to present compelling growth opportunities,” said Jonathan Goldstein, Co-founder and CEO of Cain. “We’ve benefited from strong partnerships across the region and are delighted to expand that network with Kushner as we continue to grow our presence in South Florida.”

“Kushner has built a strong track record in South Florida, with successful projects across Edgewater and Wynwood,” said Laurent Morali, CEO of Kushner.  “This partnership with Cain is a natural extension of that momentum, bringing together two firms that know this market well and are committed to delivering more high-quality residential developments.”
