They need to get to the guarantee maximum price and a contract, before any bank would close on the financing, which means the financing for the apartment building and the garage, they both must be financed together. This was a four to six week effort. A start in the last quarter of this year would be the best-case scenario. Vice Mayor Katz asked how quickly once shovels in the ground and garage starting and the residential would the estimate be. Mr. Markey responded the current estimate would be June of 2020. He indicated the garage would go up much faster than the apartment building. The apartment building are not precast. If we could get a Certificate of Occupancy and begin leasing and occupying the last quarter in 2020 was reasonable. Vice Mayor Katz stated based on the information provided residential on the south end would be the last quarter of 2020. Mr. Markey responded yes. 15 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 5, 2019 Vice Mayor Katz asked if the finance secured for these different parcel buildings. Mr. Markey stated they have some commitments and a $3.5M mortgage with Citi National Bank on all three parcels. They are shopping the financing around. They are shopping some different construction lenders. Vice Mayor Katz stated they have a deal, but are seeking better rates and terms. If the Southside garage and residential fourth quarter 2020 is built, what about central building, parking and residential. Mr. Markey replied the central building was further out and would be in the first or second quarter in 2021. The reasoning is that Boynton is pushing the market. They are taking a step at the head of the curve. This is done because they believe in the market and the community, the problem lies is getting the finance world to believe that. To get this first building done is a big step; we have already taken a big step with Citi National with the financing. They need to prove out the market with the first building, they need to show they can perform with this building, we need to lease the units before anyone will lend money on the next building. Vice Mayor Katz stated this was hypothetically Central Residential completion for the second quarter 2021 . Mr. Markey replied they would start in the second quarter 2021 . Vice Mayor Katz inquired about the final phase Northside residential garage and potential hotel estimated start or completion date. Mr. Markey replied he was not the hotel developer but believed the hotel could happen much faster. They are working with staff to try to accelerate the parking, which the hotel needs. He indicated the market study states there is demand for the hotel. Vice Mayor Katz stated the hotel was contingent upon the parking garage. He also inquired about the garage and residential on the North side of the project. When would the completion of the final North phase? Mr. Markey indicated they have not projected a timeframe. They need to prove out the market, the garage would be complete before the apartment or retail. They are at a point where they have figured out a way to finance this. He was working and staff was working hard getting together some finances to make this happen. Vice Mayor Katz asked if there was anything perceived as an impediment to the delivery of these phases. Mr. Markey replied the only impediment was the market demand. He was a believer with money, time and relationship invested; he sees no obstacle such as a change in the market place, construction cost and political environment. Vice Mayor Katz thanked Mr. Markey for the update. Commissioner Romelus indicated she sits on the board of Palm Beach County Tourist Development Council, have praised the development of the project. Boynton Beach was an example for other cities. The City was creating a lot of buzz for this project. This was exciting for all of us, and thanked Mr. Markey for putting Boynton Beach on the map. Mr. Markey stated what we are doing in this City is groundbreaking. 16 Meeting Minutes City Commission Boynton Beach, Florida September 5, 2019 Mayor Grant requested to place as a future agenda item for the branding of the Town Square Master Plan, what name the City wants to have for the future of our downtown.
