The Miami Factor
Because nobody in the history of conferences has ever dreaded a trip to Miami in November.
But this isn't just vibes and palm trees. Miami has quietly become one of the most important commercial real estate markets in the country. And CREIC is planting its flag right in the middle of it.
The Numbers
- South Florida posted $16 billion in commercial real estate sales in 2025 — highest since 2017
- Investment sales surged 35% year-over-year
- CBRE ranked Miami the #2 target city for CRE investment, with 70% of investors planning to acquire more
- Office vacancy in Miami-Dade dropped 70 basis points — one of the best improvements in the country
- Class A rents in Brickell pushing $73/sq ft, up over 50% since 2020
- 127 companies relocated to Miami-Dade since 2020, occupying 2.2 million square feet
This isn't a beach town with some office buildings. This is an institutional-grade market that happens to have incredible weather.
The Cardone Effect
Love him or hate him, Grant Cardone put Miami on the map for commercial real estate. $5 billion AUM. 10X Corporate Centre in North Miami. Real Estate Summits drawing thousands. He didn't just invest in Miami — he branded it. And who knows, maybe Mr. 10X himself will be in the room at CREIC.
What's Next
The first three episodes were the foundation. Origin. Vision. City. Now the podcast pivots into what's actually moving in commercial real estate — capital raising, fund structures, LP psychology, deal flow, and the trends shaping the market heading into 2026 and beyond.
