MIAMI—David Fleisher has switched commercial real estate allegiances. The industry veteran has come on board Franklin Street as a regional managing partner for Broward and Palm Beach counties.
Fleisher replaces Greg Matus, who was promoted last year to senior vice president of investment sales, a national role within the company. Matus oversaw all three South Florida counties since his arrival in 2014, but the firm's growth here prompted the company to split up the positions for Broward/Palm Beach and Miami.
“I'm joining at a time when all asset types are in high demand with little inventory available, especially on the multifamily front,” Fleisher tells GlobeSt.com. “Developers have been quickly trying to fill this demand with many new projects coming online and/or in development. Larger mixed-use properties are being considered all over the South Florida market, including those that combine multifamily, retail and office elements to create a dynamic live-work-play environment. It's very exciting.”
Before joining Franklin Street, Fleisher served as director of business services for Bluegreen Vacations, one of the largest independent vacation ownership companies in the US. He oversaw the company's resort client relationships, as well as prepared and presented financial models for acquisitions and new client development in the US and Caribbean. During his tenure, he managed client relationships whose sales have accounted for more than $1.2 billion in vacation ownership sales since 2009.
Fleisher previously co-founded LOB Companies, specializing in the acquisition, management and disposition of value-add multifamily apartment properties across Florida. Earlier in his career, he worked with Marcus & Millichap in South Florida, focusing on multifamily investment sales. He has completed acquisitions and dispositions of real estate and companies valued at more than $350 million.
“David's more than two decades experience in commercial real estate, accounting and management will take our business development and talent recruiting efforts to the next level,” says Andrew Wright, CEO and managing partner. “He will oversee all operations and provide strategic guidance for Franklin Street, allowing us to grow the firm's market share and expand our investment sales, insurance, and tenant and landlord representation services throughout South Florida.”
Fleisher is a certified public accountant in Maryland and a licensed real estate broker in the state of Florida. He earned a bachelor's degree in Management from Tulane University and a master's degree in International Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University. He is also engaged in the community, through his support and sponsorship of groups such as Deliver the Dream and JDRF.
“We want to continue building out our strong retail and multifamily platforms in Broward and introduce both of these lines immediately in Palm Beach,” says Fleisher. “Down the road, our plan is to add office and industrial capabilities in both counties. We will be looking to recruit the best professionals in each of these categories to make this happen.”
