FORT
LAUDERDALE, Fla. (Feb. 27,
2018) – During its Awards of Excellence banquet on March 15, NAIOP South
Florida will pay tribute to commercial real estate giant Terry Stiles for his unparalleled contributions to South Florida’s
business community.
Through
more than four decades of leadership, Stiles led the transformation of downtown
Fort Lauderdale and helped position Broward County as one of the most desirable
locations for business, culture and living.
In
recognition of Stiles’ pivotal work and a lifetime of achievements, the South
Florida chapter of NAIOP, a Commercial Real Estate Development Organization,
has donated to Nova Southeastern University’s campaign to create the Terry Stiles School of Real Estate
Development, a master’s degree program at NSU’s H. Wayne Huizenga College
of Business and Entrepreneurship. Funds from this campaign also will allow
worthy students to complete their studies by providing scholarships in Terry’s
name.
“Look
anywhere in Fort Lauderdale and you’ll see the legacy that Terry left behind,”
said NAIOP South Florida Executive Director Jules Morgan. “He shaped the very foundation of South Florida as it
stands today through iconic developments in all areas of the region.

“Terry
was and continues to be an inspiration to all those who knew him. He was
dedicated to not only creating a thriving region of economic prosperity, but
also to supporting industry professionals and organizations such as NAIOP.
“While
we have been fortunate enough to recognize Terry in the past for his momentous
accomplishments and transformational endeavors, today marks our most important
recognition of all - a celebration of the life and legacy of a man who believed
anything was possible.”

chapter’s president from 1982 to 1984 and as national chairman in 1998, leading
