Commercial real estate stars shine amid rebound

As a section, Heavy Hitters in Commercial Real Estate is fun because each person’s story is a piece of the overall real estate picture from 2012.

For South Florida, that picture is improving, with retail, hospitality, industrial and residential rebounding. Even office, one of the market’s hardest-hit sectors, is on the mend, with new space under construction for the first time in several years.

Reporter Oscar Pedro Musibay threw out a wide net to get feedback from many sources, highlighting those who continually do great work alongside those up-and-comers who landed important work that fed the market, helping to spur its recovery.

We chose a diverse group that are getting South Florida’s real estate engine humming again, and proudly present these 100 individuals as this year’s heavy hitters.
