Zillow reports that the Florida real estate market surpassed New York’s value during this summer, estimating it at $3.8 trillion in June 2023 compared to $2 trillion in January 2022. While Florida remains behind California, whose market is valued at $10.2 trillion, it has secured the second position nationally. The fast growing population throughout the pandemic is seen as the main driver.

Ocean Walk Mall
The remainder of the ground lease was acquired in September 2023 by a consortium of real estate investors, including a subsidiary of the Related Group of Miami. Rumors for the 65,908-square-foot open air mall also abound regarding potential additions, ranging from the addition of more shops and restaurants, to even the construction of a hotel / three story parking garage. Formerly known as Ocean Mall it is situated by almost 900 square feet of unobstructed oceanfront but is subject to current zoning regulations that restrict the number of stories allowed for development.

Happy Holiday season to everyone!
