In this episode, we crack open a Corona and jump into the fascinating world of South Florida real estate with the one and only Brian Bandell. We dive into Brian’s journey from the Associated Press to Reuters to the South Florida Business Journal where he has been for the last 20 years reporting on health care, business and now real estate for the last 7 years. Did we mention Brian is also a novelist, with four thrilling books under his belt?
We dish about everything from The Brightline and its potential to transform transit-oriented development along the Florida East Coast railway, to the hidden gems of Hollywood, Flagler Village, and Overtown. We also touch upon the rezoning opportunities in Hollywood, Curry Park (West Palm Beach) and Riviera Beach - because who doesn't love a good upzoning discussion?
But wait, there's more! We delve into South Florida's office market, population swings, property taxes and who really benefits from Florida’s no state income tax.
And just when you thought we couldn't cram any more excitement into one episode, we hit you with the impact of higher interest rates, rising insurance premiums and construction costs. Plus, we break down the Live Local Act and its impact on the elusive unicorn of workforce housing.
So grab a drink, sit back, and join us as we navigate the wild world of South Florida real estate with Brian Bandell - the man, the myth, the real estate legend.
