MIAMI—Ken Krasnow, managing director for CBRE in South Florida, is offering plenty of predictions for the region's commercial real estate market in 2015. He shared those predictions—which include more growth and an active financing market—in part one of this exclusive interview.

Krasnow also shared with us two trends that are less mainstream, but could have a big impact on the region. He says suburban and "pocket" urban office markets will heat up and transit-oriented development (TOD) will be commercial real estate's MVP.

“In Miami, rising office rents downtown and 'commuter fatigue' will make suburban office space increasingly appealing for tenants,” Krasnow says. “Office properties in Coral Gables, South Miami, and Doral, which are closer to residential areas and offer more parking, will be the primary beneficiaries, along with some suburban office properties in Broward County.”
