FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (August 2, 2016) – NAIOP South Florida, a Commercial Real Estate Development Organization, recently welcomed more than 200 industry professionals for its Mid-Year Update and “The Bus Stops Here…Highlighting Broward County” tour.


                                                          Hosted by Duke Realty at its new Pembroke Pointe 880 building, the event featured a luncheon, a panel of South Florida’s leading developers, and an ‘off the bus’ tour of Broward County’s most prominent commercial real estate properties, companies and organizations.

The panel, which was moderated by Avison Young Principal Gregory P. Martin, consisted of Metropica Development Vice President Erick Collazo, Stiles President Scott MacLaren, Duke Realty Regional Senior Vice President Ed Mitchell and Treadwell Franklin Infrastructure Capital Executive and Founding   Partner Eric Swanson.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
          The panelists discussed a range of topics including emerging trends, upcoming opportunities and future development and fielded questions from their peers in the audience.


“One of the most engaging points raised during the panel was how online retailers and the Latin market are affecting local commercial real estate, specifically, physical retail and showroom space,” said NAIOP South Florida Executive Director Jules R. Morgan.

“With online shopping for products and services becoming more prominent, the need for brick and mortar outlets is being debated. The commercial real estate landscape is changing and it will be interesting tojsee how this will influence South Florida in the future.”
