ORLANDO—Central Florida is active—some may say overactive in certain sectors. In any case, there is plenty of room to run and lots of growth ahead, according to our RealShare Central Florida panelists.
A slew of commercial real estate industry leaders gathered for a group discussion on “Active Areas: What's Driving Commercial Real Estate?” Gary Ralston, managing partner at Coldwell Banker Sanders Ralston Dantzier Realty, moderated the panel, which included David Hunter, commercial director for Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT in Central Florida; Justin West, regional manager at Marcus & Millichap; Keith Simmel, principal of Cooper Carry's Hospitality Studio; Kurt Keaten, president of Real Estate Services and Management Services at Franklin Street; Ryan Kratz, president at Colliers; and Larry Richey, senior managing director at Cushman & Wakefield.
“We are seeing tremendous change for medical office,” Hunter said in his opening comments. “The old formats don't work. Significant changes in and around hospitals. Large institutional groups coming in, particularly REITs, looking to take part in that shift.”
