Refinancing in many cases can make sense for CRE firms. But every company may have distinct reasons for doing so. Particularly, refinancing is picking up in Florida — with luxury hotel Fontainebleau Miami Beach becoming the latest to join the party.

The property, majority owned by Jeffrey Soffer, plans to refinance $1.18 billion in past mezzanine and commercial mortgage-backed security debt, according to a report from Bloomberg. This includes a $75 million construction loan for the hotel's convention center facilities and $40 million in closing costs.
