They are bullish, optimistic and focused on creating communities that help elevate South Florida’s built environment and its residents’ quality of life. Their commitment to quality and focus on the future – including delivery of much-needed workforce housing – helps drive the region’s shared prosperity. In short, it’s what makes them Power Leaders and Power Brokers.
