The Slade at Channelside
(Miami, FL) August 15, 2007- The Slade at Channelside in Tampa took a significant step towards becoming a true reality with Cobalt Development Group securing major financing for the pre-construction condominium development.
Wells Fargo Bank has agreed to further finance The Slade by committing over $66 million in funding for the project. The Slade recently surpassed the 60 percent sales mark paving the way for the approval of the loan, and the early preparation of the build site.
“This in my opinion is a monumental achievement. It is a milestone that speaks for itself and communicates the realities of our project,” said Juan Porro, President of Cobalt Development Group. “The reality is that our project's attributes are very well balanced with great pricing, a terrific design, an attractive location, and a strong positioning in one of the least saturated metropolitan markets in the country,” he continued. To commemorate construction commencement a groundbreaking event is slated for September 25, 2007.
