A Katten team led by Real Estate Partner Jason Gorczynski represented Inter Miami CF of Major League Soccer (MLS) and its affiliates in structuring and financing the development of a new 25,000-seat stadium in coordination with the development of Miami Freedom Park, a premier sports and entertainment district surrounding the stadium.
The transaction includes construction financing for the new stadium and refinancing of existing term loans of Inter Miami CF. Each financing was provided by a select group of lenders. Katten represented Inter Miami CF when it obtained the existing term loans.
The construction loan is one of the most significant financings ever secured by an MLS club.
The Katten team included Sports and Sports Facilities Partner Adam Klein and Real Estate Associates Phil Piecuch, Loxley Gressle and Katie Ward.
