By Katherine Kallergis

RedSky Capital closed on an $18.27 million construction loan for an office building it plans to develop in Wynwood, property records show.

Bank of the Ozarks is providing the financing for Cube Wynwyd, an eight-story office building at 222 Northwest 24th Street. The project, with nearly 80,000 square feet of office space and about 11,400 square feet of retail space, will mark one of the first new office buildings in Wynwood. Construction is underway, according to a spokesperson for Blanca Commercial Real Estate, which is handling leasing.

JLL’s Aaron Appel and Jonathan Schwartz arranged the financing.

Asking rents range from about $38 to $42 per square foot triple-net for spaces that go up to a full 11,360-square-foot floor, Tere Blanca previously said. It’s 27 percent preleased to tenants that include Spaces, a shared workspace concept. Spaces just signed a nearly 24,000-square-foot lease at Cube Wynwyd, according to a spokesperson. Randy Carballo and Gavin MacPhail of JLL represented the co-working firm, and Blanca and Danet Linares of Blanca Commercial represented RedSky.

Arquitectonica is designing the LEED-certified building, which will include a rooftop terrace and 30-foot breezeway with restaurant and retail tenants on the ground floor. It’s slated to open in 2018.
