As America celebrates 250 years of independence, it’s a good reminder that strong communities remain one of our nation’s greatest strengths. 🇺🇸 #America250 #RetailRealEstate #CommercialRealEstate – at Louisville, KY

How does the MAGA base reconcile “America First” with a President flying around in a $400 million jet gifted by Qatar, a country with a controversial history of supporting extremist groups?

Walked by the Cipriani Residences and had to stop for a photo. 950 ft, 85 stories and a sight to see. This lot was vacant for at least a decade and is simply amazing to witness it’s development.

Excellent podcast today by @SpencerGLevy covering Bob’s Discount Furniture and their RE strategy. Founded 1991 in CT. 200+ stores in 27 states. Publicly traded. 30-32k SF stores with cafes and some with fish ponds! #awesome

An engaging Friday discussion at @BrickellCityCtr with David Martin President of Swire. From its inception, David’s retail expertise and leadership have helped shape Brickell City Centre into more than a shopping destination, creating an urban third place in the heart of Brickell.

Excited that the Coconut Grove Playhouse is under renovation.

Different generations, experiences, and perspectives, brought together by a shared connection. Great spending Friday afternoon in #Wynwood with fellow alumni @umiamimredu

Hedge fund gross borrowing hit $7.2 trillion in July 2026, with gross leverage approaching 10x. Worth watching for commercial real estate. Rising leverage across financial markets can amplify shifts in liquidity, credit spreads, and ultimately asset pricing. #StockMarketNews #cre

Proud to be part of @UM_SoA and @umiamimredu, where real estate is taught not simply as an academic discipline, but as a force that shapes places and communities. Optimistic about where the program is headed, and especially proud to play a small part in preparing the next generation of real estate leaders. #Miami #realestate

Perfection @portilloshotdog

A great read. theatlantic.com/magazine/202…

That’s a wrap on @ICSC #Florida 2026. Always valuable to spend time with industry colleagues and discuss the opportunities shaping Florida’s retail landscape.

A lot of South Florida retail history in one photo. Bob Shapiro and Don Stiller helped shape the region’s retail landscape. Great spending time with two industry legends at @ICSC Florida.

Florida retail continues to operate at remarkable scale, but the opportunity isn’t simply about growth. It’s about where that growth is occurring, how consumers are changing, and which tenants and retail environments are best positioned to capture it. Looking forward to meetings with retailers, owners, and investors at the ICSC@Florida in Orlando next week. #CRE

#Florida has about 90 @EinsteinBros locations second only to Texas 🥯

Happy to hear a 12,000+ sf @BNBuzz will be opening in Midtown Miami. Bookstores are true third places and a great addition to any neighborhood📚#retailnews

Is the restaurant economy in #Miami disproportionately supported by a relatively small group of affluent residents and visitors, rather than broad-based spending across the population? @LidiaDinkova @BrianBandell
