The Miami Factor

We've told you why CREIC exists. We've told you why 500 is just the beginning. Now let's talk about why Miami. 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.
