“Back to Business” is the CFCAR theme for this year and that is exactly what is happening in Central Florida. Low inventory of warehouse and manufacturing buildings are evidence of Amazon, Walmart, and other online retailers benefiting by online shopping. Land for development is moving at a record pace and multifamily remains strong. As Central Florida continues to complete a re-opening, we expect that retail and office will rebound as well.

“Back to Business” for CFCAR means face-to-face networking with our fellow practitioners and doing deals together. It means educational opportunities to share industry trends and learn from industry experts. It means reaching out and doing business with our affiliate member’s whose products and services serve our industry and clients. It also means helping to bring all commercial practitioners together to better leverage opportunities to grow as an organization within the market. We look forward to announcements in the coming months that will transform our organization.

I urge everyone, practitioners and affiliates, to join us at a CFCAR Social in the coming months as we kick our face-to-face re-opening into high gear. Watch your email for location announcements and frequent the CFCAR website at www.CFCAR.net for all the latest developments as we get “Back to Business”
