MIAMI—Miami commercial real estate is on the radar screen of domestic and international investors—and powerful women are behind many of the deals that are getting done. In the Women of Influence: Southeast series in our sister publication Real Estate Forum, we identified three strategic personalities on Miami's commercial real estate scene. My colleague, Carrie Rosenfeld, rounded them up.
