MIAMI—Franklin Street just expanded its South Florida multifamily operations. Dan Dratch and Tony Gannacone have joined the firm as investment associates specializing in multifamily deals.

Dratch and Gannacone work closely with Franklin's Greg Matus, regional managing partner of South Florida, who also serves as mentor, manager, and trainer for the office's multifamily and retail investment agents. The duo is based in the Fort Lauderdale office and focus on transactions across South Florida.

“The multifamily market in Broward County has seen significant growth in the number of transactions as well as sales volume over the past couple years,” Dratch tells GlobeSt.com. “With Congress recently passing some tax breaks for foreign investors and the upcoming election, 2016 should prove to be an even stronger year.”
