David Adler, CEO of Adler Group, joined us for a deep dive into one of Miami’s most storied development legacies. With roots stretching back to post-WWII Miami Beach, David provides a unique perspective on how to navigate multi-generational business and evolving asset classes.
Key takeaways from our conversation:
The Evolution of Industrial: How David’s father, Mike Adler, pioneered the "Miami International Commerce Center" and went non-union to make the economics of industrial work in the 70s.
Public-Private Partnerships (P3): Why David believes ground leases with the County and City are the ultimate "recession-proof" strategy in a high-interest-rate environment.
The 2008 Playbook: How the Adler Group stayed active during the Great Recession by managing non-performing notes and working with lenders to finish underwater projects.
Transit-Oriented Development: A look at their massive investments along the Miami Metrorail and why density around transit is the future of the city.
The "Closet King" Legacy: Lessons learned from three generations of building—from 12-story rentals to 400,000 sq. ft. City of Miami headquarters.
