Michael Shvo's long-stalled Raleigh Hotel in Miami Beach may have a new future in store — with a potential new owner
Nahla Capital, a New York-based real estate firm, has emerged as the leading bidder to acquire the Raleigh Hotel site, a three-property compound that includes the storied Raleigh, the Richmond and the South Seas hotels, sources told The Post.
Nahla has agreed to pay approximately $275 million for the site, which has languished for years under developer Michael Shvo's control, separate sources told Business Insider, which broke news of the update.

5 After six years of stalled development, Michael Shvo's high-profile Miami Beach project — the historic Raleigh Hotel and two adjacent Art Deco properties — may finally be changing hands.

Shvo, who bought the properties in 2019 for about $243 million with backing from the German pension fund Bayerische Versorgungskammer (BVK), still has a potential path to keep the deal alive.
A clause in the partnership agreement reportedly gives Shvo the right to match incoming offers, though doing so would require a sizable infusion of fresh capital.

Shvo would likely need to buy out his partners and either refinance or restructure the project's considerable debt.

The trio of hotels, located in the heart of Miami Beach's Art Deco district, has sat largely untouched for years.
Though Shvo once announced grand plans to restore the iconic Raleigh, build a luxury beach club and erect a high-end condo tower designed by architect Peter Marino, the vision never materialized.

Aside from some initial demolition work, the site has remained a costly liability — generating millions annually in loan interest, taxes and upkeep, according to people familiar with the finances.
5 The deal comes amid mounting financial pressure, including $190 million in looming debt and nearly $20 million in annual interest payments.
The Boundary
5 Despite bold plans for a luxury hotel, beach club and a Peter Marino-designed condo tower, the site has remained little more than a vacant lot.

A significant debt burden has further complicated the project. The site carries roughly $190 million in loans, originally due to mature in mid-July. The lender, Miami-based BH3, recently granted a short extension to allow the competing parties time to finalize a deal.

With holding costs mounting and no vertical progress to show, one of the project's financial partners quietly hired the brokerage Newmark earlier this year to seek potential buyers. Nahla's winning bid may now offer a lifeline — or a changing of the guard.
5 The site has remained little more than a vacant lot. A sale could mark a dramatic turning point for one of Miami Beach's most closely watched and long-delayed redevelopments.

A spokesperson for BVK declined to comment to Business Insider on the ongoing negotiations, citing a policy against responding to market speculation.

Why are Lodha shares down nearly 6% today? Know More
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 28, 2025, 09:37 IST Shares of Lodha Developers Ltd. slumped nearly 6% in early trade on Monday to ₹1,203, despite the company posting a robust 42% year-on-year jump in consolidated net profit to ₹675 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Mumbai-based real estate giant had reported a profit of ₹475 crore in the same quarter last year. Consolidated revenue also saw a healthy rise to ₹3,624 crore from ₹2,918 crore in Q1 FY25. Pre-sales for the quarter reached ₹4,450 crore, up 10% YoY, slightly below potential due to the temporary impact of the India-Pakistan crisis in May, according to Executive Director S.K. Modi. Still, the company reiterated its FY26 guidance of a 20% annual growth in pre-sales. During the quarter, Lodha launched projects worth ₹8,300 crore, mostly in Mumbai, including premium projects in Juhu and Alibaug, and additional launches in Bengaluru. The company has already achieved 90% of its business development guidance of ₹25,000 crore for the fiscal year and expects more activity in the festive quarters (Q3 and Q4), with the current quarter limited to phased rollouts of existing developments. Despite the strong financials and operational performance, the stock's decline on Monday may be attributed to profit booking by investors following the recent run-up.

Amber shares rise nearly 2% after announcing Rs 404 crore acquisition of Israel's Unitronics
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on July 28, 2025, 09:34 IST Shares of Amber Enterprises India Ltd rose nearly 2% to ₹7,394 in early trade on Monday, following the company's announcement of a definitive agreement to acquire a controlling stake in Israel-based Unitronics (1989) (R'G) Ltd. through its electronics division, ILJIN Electronics. The deal involves acquiring up to 40.24% of Unitronics' issued and outstanding share capital, bringing Amber's post-acquisition holding to 45.13% alongside co-investor Haim Shami. The acquisition is valued at 15.6 crore Israeli New Shekel, approximately ₹404 crore, and is expected to be completed within 60 business days. Unitronics, a Tel Aviv Stock Exchange-listed firm, specializes in industrial automation, offering a suite of products including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interface (HMIs), integrated PLC-HMI solutions, SaaS-based UniCloud, and industrial IoT technologies. The strategic acquisition aligns with Amber's broader ambition to strengthen its electronics division and penetrate the industrial automation segment. The move is aimed at enhancing Amber's backward integration capabilities and tapping into global demand for Industry 4.0 solutions, while gaining access to key markets in the US and Europe. In 2024, Unitronics reported $57 million in revenue with EBITDA margins exceeding 30%, and currently holds a market capitalisation of $110 million. Investors appear optimistic about the growth potential this acquisition brings, pushing Amber's shares higher in Monday's session.
