The divergence between South Florida and the rest of the country continues to widen. While national headlines focus on commercial distress, we are experiencing a massive wave of leasing and transaction activity on the ground.

Elevated construction costs and tight lending have choked the new supply pipeline, creating a “Space Squeeze.” Tenants are aggressively competing for existing inventory, and landlords with stabilized assets now hold total pricing power.

In this week’s issue of Vision Into The Market:

• The Market Monitor: Why the “Turnkey” premium is driving record leasing activity across the tri-county area.

• Firm Update: We just secured two major new assignments: a 3-building industrial portfolio in Broward County and a vacant 2nd-generation restaurant. Furthermore, our platform just put $15 million in listings under contract at record price-per-square-foot valuations across Miami and Broward Counties.

• Team Activity: The leasing surge is real. Alex Stevens inks his first 2,000 SF professional lease within 30 days of joining the firm, and our landlord representation desk is driving top-of-market rents.

Two weeks ago, we saw the “buy” signal in Brickell. Last week, the “refi” signal in Wynwood. This week, we got the “build” signal.

With a massive $324 million construction loan closing for the Four Seasons in Coconut Grove, the message is clear: The capital freeze is thawing across every stage of the deal cycle.

However, not all capital is created equal. While the national market waits for the Fed, South Florida is building a “Cash Moat” that is insulating our core markets from rate volatility.

In this week’s issue of Vision Into The Market:

• The Market Monitor: Why West Palm Beach is leading the nation in all-cash deals.
• Sector Spotlight: The new “Parking Premium” driving value in retail.
• Firm Update: We celebrate $25.6M closed and welcome a new advisor to the team.
• New Inventory: Fresh exclusively listed investment opportunities in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

If the first two weeks of 2026 were about “testing the waters,” this week was the cannonball.

We are officially seeing the re-entry of institutional capital into the South Florida core, signaled by Oak Row Equities’ $520 million land acquisition at 1111 Brickell Bay Drive. When a developer drops half a billion dollars on dirt in this environment, the debate about South Florida’s longevity is over.

In this week’s Pulse:

• The Market Monitor: Why the “price discovery” phase is ending.
• Sector Spotlight: The new “Power Constraints” hitting industrial sites.
• Firm Update: Celebrating 6 months, $21M closed, and $30M in active inventory.
