Sundy Village just landed a $223 million refinancing as it neared full occupancy. The seven-acre downtown campus has moved from a risky construction project to a stabilized asset.
Key Takeaways
- Pebb Capital secured a $223 million refinancing for Sundy Village in downtown Delray Beach, replacing its $173 million construction loan.
- J.P. Morgan increased its commitment while Monroe Capital exited, a vote of confidence in a campus that is now 97% pre-leased.
- The deal marks Sundy Village's shift from construction project to stabilized asset, and stands out in an office market full of distress.
While much of the commercial real estate news lately has been about empty offices and distress, here is a project that worked. According to Florida YIMBY, Pebb Capital just secured a $223 million refinancing for Sundy Village, its seven-acre office and dining campus in downtown Delray Beach, as the project reached 97% leased. J.P. Morgan, which helped fund construction, is increasing its bet rather than stepping back.
What did J.P. Morgan just finance?
Pebb Capital secured $223 million to refinance Sundy Village, at 22 West Atlantic Avenue, with the loan provided by J.P. Morgan and Hudson Bay Capital. It replaces the $173 million construction loan Pebb took in 2023, from Monroe Capital and J.P. Morgan, and adds capital for tenant improvements. The telling detail is who stayed and who left: J.P. Morgan, which helped fund construction, is increasing its commitment, while Monroe Capital is exiting now that construction is complete. Walker & Dunlop arranged the deal.
A refinancing at this scale, $223 million replacing $173 million while the campus is 97% pre-leased, marks Sundy Village's transition from a development risk to a stabilized asset. That is the stage where the risk profile drops and the value rises, which is exactly why a lender doubles down rather than walks away.
Why did this office campus lease up when others sit empty?
In a market where many offices sit empty, and where we recently covered a Broward office building that sold at a $17 million loss, Sundy Village leased to 97%. The difference is the product. Sundy Village is a Class A+ office in a walkable downtown, with touches you would expect in a luxury condo rather than an office park: private balconies on every floor and a private elevator that carries tenants from their parking space straight to their office, without crossing common areas.
As Larry Mastropieri explained on the Discover South Florida Podcast, top-tier office space in a desirable downtown draws established businesses that want that experience, which is why it fills up while generic, cheaper space stays vacant. In other words, location and quality drive office leasing now, more than price alone.
What is Sundy Village, exactly?
The campus pairs new construction with Delray Beach history. Phase One, delivered in 2025, brought 100,000 square feet of Class A+ office, 30,000 square feet of retail and dining, and 268 below-grade parking spaces to the seven-acre site. Its anchor tenant is Vertical Bridge, the largest private cell-tower operator in the country, alongside Industrious coworking and restaurants like Barcelona Wine Bar, Maman, and Van Leeuwen. Phase Two, under construction, adds a 79,141-square-foot office building leased to Boca Raton-based DigitalBridge, plus a parking garage and ground-floor retail, bringing the campus to roughly 253,000 square feet at completion.
History ties it all together. Several restored Swinton Avenue cottages and the 1902 Sundy House, one of Delray's oldest buildings and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, are woven into the campus as dining and gathering spots. Pebb Capital, led by Boca Raton's Todd Rosenberg, bought the land for $40 million in 2019, and Gensler and RLC Architects designed it.

How does it fit downtown Delray's boom?
Sundy Village is the anchor, but it is far from the only project reshaping downtown Delray Beach. The area around Atlantic Avenue is in its most active development cycle in decades. Atlantic Crossing, a completed mixed-use campus with office, retail, and residential, proved downtown Delray could support institutional-grade development. Now Pierre Delray II is adding a Class A office and retail building on one of Atlantic Avenue's last surface parking lots, an office-to-condo conversion is bringing 26 luxury units nearby, and projects like Onix Residences and Magnolia Place are adding high-end housing.
What makes Sundy Village especially notable is where it sits. As Larry put it: "The project is west of Swinton, so that's one big deal. Historically, east of Swinton is where you've seen all the action and where you wanted to be. It just means Delray is expanding, and it's getting better, and more and more stuff is happening around." A major campus succeeding west of Swinton suggests Delray's core is growing, and the neighborhoods just west of it may see real upside over time.
