Frequent business partners Howard Lorber and Steve Witkoff have a new project, but it’s not a condo or hotel. It’s a SPAC.
The developers’ Ocean Drive Acquisition Corp. is looking to raise $250 million from investors to take a proptech startup public, according to a regulatory filing. In addition to Lorber and Witkoff, asset manager Monroe Capital is sponsoring the blank-check company.
“Technology has become a strategic imperative as [real estate] owners seek ways to increase the efficiency of their assets,” the filing said. “Our management team has specific experience and knowledge regarding the real estate industry and companies that provide technological solutions and innovation.”
