Economist Pulls No Punches at ULI Forum

MIAMI—Commercial real estate players from across South Florida gathered at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, FL on Thursday afternoon for the Urban Land Institute‘s 2013 South Florida Economic & Development Outlook Program. The venue’s Sport of Kings Theater was packed out with leaders hoping to hear perspectives on the future of South Florida land use and real estate from some leading voices in the industry.

Gene Berman, program chair of the event and executive vice president and managing director at Marcus & Millichap, offered what he called a summary of the market in its simplest form: “We took the ride up. We took the ride down. Now we are slowly growing again.”
