Florida's numbers still looked strong in the third quarter—and some significant deals were inked early this week to put an exclamation point on the statistical reports that flooded my inbox.

Also noteworthy is the rise of Cushman & Wakefield in the South Florida region. A couple of years ago, the firm was losing talent left and right. Now, through recruiting and strategic acquisitions, the firm is inking deals—both transactions and leasing engagements—left and right. Two of them are noted below.

I saw greater diversity early this week than in weeks past, with net lease assets selling along with industrial and hotel action. Of course, multifamily is still in the thick of the news.
