FORT LAUDERDALE, FL-Stiles Corp. is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year—and CEO Terry Stiles is sharing his perspective on real estate and development growth as we emerge from the recession.

Stiles Corp. is demonstrating growth. The firm is currently developing stores for both Publix and West Marine with long-term leases for both. The company just completed a 75,000-square-foot development project for Nova Southeastern University, and expects to break ground on a 300-unit apartment project in Plantation by the end of the year.

Stiles Corp., which has architectural, property management, construction and realty divisions, is putting a greater emphasis on Miami-Dade County this year, acquiring more than $120 million in Miami office, retail and mixed-use projects. Stiles Construction has completed more than 30 projects in the region totaling approximately 4.5 million square feet. And the list goes on and on.
