Florida CRE History is Repeating Itself

ORLANDO—Is commercial real estate history really repeating itself in Florida? Greg Matus, regional manager at Franklin Street and one of the panelists at RealShare Central Florida, thinks so—at least in some respect.

Matus joined other industry experts on the Town Hall Meeting: State of the Industry Panel last week in Orlando. Richard Matricaria, regional manager of Marcus & Millichap in Tampa, moderated the panel, which included David Barilla, associate director of the Downtown Development Board/Community Redevelopment Agency, Fred Hames, general manager and executive vice president of Skanska USA, Ryan Kratz, president of Tampa Bay, Central Florida and Southwest Florida for Colliers International, Brooke Myers, president of Emerge Real Estate Ventures, and Larry Richey, senior marketing director and Florida market leader for Cushman & Wakefield.
