Why Attend Central Florida's Construction & Development Summit

Why This Matters:

Multifamily and industrial are leading the charge in Central Florida, with retail steadily woven throughout. Explosive population growth is fueling multifamily demand, while the region continues to attract significant industrial investment. Communities across Lake County including Clermont, Minneola, and Eustis are among the fastest-growing in Florida. The rooftops are there, and now developers are stepping in to meet rising demand for services like healthcare, retail, and dining. Meanwhile, the I-Drive corridor is undergoing a $6 billion transformation, bringing hotels, housing, and entertainment projects closer to reality, and The Dynasty, a $1B recreational sports complex in Orlando is breaking ground. But even with all this momentum, the path to progress isn’t without friction. Developers are facing real challenges: constrained capital markets, outdated construction processes, zoning hurdles, and permitting delays, especially with infill projects. These roadblocks didn’t exist at the same scale just five years ago. So why push through? Because this is the market where the most tenacious, focused, and innovative players are rising above the noise. Navigating this moment takes grit and precision and those who do it well are building better projects with lasting impact. Join the leaders shaping the future of Central Florida commercial real estate. Hear how they’re adapting, solving, and delivering in a high-stakes environment and get inspired to do the same!

What You Will Learn:

Where Smart Capital Is Flowing: Gain insight into which asset classes, submarkets, and project types are attracting the most strategic investment across Central Florida and why investors are shifting their focus now.
 

The Rooftop Ripple Effect: Explore how the surge in residential development is driving demand for neighborhood retail, medical office, and essential services and how savvy developers are capitalizing on the opportunity.


Industrial Momentum & Site Strategy: Learn how industrial developers are navigating land constraints, last-mile challenges, and zoning hurdles to meet continued tenant demand, while keeping an eye on long-term logistics and warehousing trends.


Permitting & Policy: Navigating Delays and Reform: Hear what municipalities are doing to streamline entitlements and what’s still holding projects back. Get an inside look at zoning changes, fast-track programs, and creative solutions that are (and aren’t) working.


Innovation in Delivery: Discover how developers are adapting to high costs through creative deal structuring and smart development strategies that improve feasibility without sacrificing vision.
