Why Attend Bisnow's Central Florida Construction & Development Summit

This is the conversation Central Florida developers, investors and owners can't afford to miss. Migration is still arriving in force, construction pipelines are shifting beneath institutional investors' feet, and the submarkets that looked secondary two years ago are suddenly the most competitive. Meanwhile, financing conditions, insurance dynamics, and entitlement timelines are quietly separating the deals that close from the deals that stall. This event pulls back the curtain on all of it, just straight talk from the operators and capital sources making moves right now.
 

From the industrial corridors of Osceola and Kissimmee to the suburban retail renaissance playing out in Winter Garden, Lake Nona West, Sanford, and Daytona's LPGA Boulevard, asset classes are diverging sharply. Multifamily is finally burning off its oversupply hangover and poised for rent recovery. Industrial demand is absorbing land faster than entitlements can keep up. Senior housing is underbuilt and overdue. Retail, long written off, is experiencing a quiet, disciplined comeback led by the right tenants in the right locations. And downtown Orlando is finally seeing a development wave that looks different from anything in the last decade.
 

If you're a developer, investor, owner, lender, or builder with projects in Central Florida, or looking to put capital to work here, this is the room to be in: which submarkets are overheated, where the smart money is quietly accumulating land, how operators are structuring deals through a challenging capital stack, and what the insurance and construction cost environments are actually doing to project underwriting. These aren't talking points you'll find in a market report. This is intelligence from people with capital at risk and projects in the ground, the kind of strategic clarity that only comes from candid, peer-level conversation.

8 REASONS TO BE IN THIS ROOM

  • Where the Hot Money Is Moving Submarket by Submarket: Osceola County's industrial corridors, the UCF/Alafaya Trail corridor, Sanford's town center, Winter Springs, and St. Cloud are all attracting capital at different risk/return profiles. Learn which submarkets are approaching saturation, which are still early, and where the next wave of development is likely to break — before it becomes obvious.
     

  • The Multifamily Inflection: Rent Recovery, BTR, and What's Still Stalling: With over 60,000 units delivered in five years, the supply-demand math is finally shifting. Understand which product types: traditional garden, mid-rise, build-to-rent are winning investor interest right now, where distressed assets are surfacing, and how operators are repositioning amid the new insurance and financing environment.
     

  • Industrial's Next Act: Land Constraints, Big Users, and Shallow-Bay Demand: Central Florida industrial is one of the most durable asset classes in the region, but land availability, entitlement timelines, and the shift from big-box to shallow-bay logistics are reshaping what gets built and where. Hear directly from developers and investors on where deals are getting done and where the friction points are.
     

  • Retail's Quiet Comeback: The Right Tenants, Right Markets, and the Mall Equation: From power centers anchored by fitness and grocery to adaptive reuse of dead retail corridors, Central Florida's retail market is tighter than it's been in years. Learn which tenant categories are driving activity, what's happening with repositioned retail assets, and why Main Street-style retail in suburban nodes like Winter Garden and Daytona Beach is attracting serious developer attention.
     

  • Senior Housing: The Most Underbuilt Asset Class in the Region: With several years of occupancy growth nationally and a demographic wave that is no longer a forecast, senior housing may be the most compelling supply-demand story in Central Florida right now. Get a candid read on where projects are penciling, how financing is opening back up, and which operators are positioned to scale.
     

  • Capital Stack Reality Check: What Lenders Are Actually Doing: The gap between what brokers say lenders will do and what they actually do has never been wider. Hear how construction financing is being structured today: mezzanine, preferred equity, PACE, Live Local incentives and which deal structures are getting traction versus which are going nowhere.
     

  • Insurance and Construction Costs: The Hidden Deal-Killers: Insurance has reshaped underwriting across every asset class, but the story in Central Florida is more nuanced than the statewide headlines suggest. Understand what premiums are actually doing in the inland market versus coastal exposure, how construction cost escalation is affecting pro formas, and the real-world impact on feasibility for projects in the pipeline today.
     

  • Downtown Orlando and the Mixed-Use Moment: What Finally Has Legs: Downtown Orlando is seeing a development surge: new housing, adaptive reuse, office-to-residential conversion, and transit-adjacent mixed-use projects are all in the pipeline. Learn which projects are real, what's driving the institutional confidence, and how the urban core is evolving as a destination for residents, employers, and capital alike.

Fireside Chat: The Business Case for Neighborhood Investment & Stronger Communities

Central Florida's next generation of growth won't be defined by who builds the tallest tower, it will be defined by who creates places where people want to live, work and invest for decades. Join Eddy Moratin, Adam Wonus and Craig Ustler for a candid discussion on why successful development today requires more than great sites and capital. They'll explore how developers, owners and investors can build stronger partnerships with communities, align projects with public and institutional priorities, reduce entitlement friction, and create developments that generate long-term value for both investors and residents.

As healthcare shifts away from traditional hospital campuses, Central Florida is becoming a proving ground for outpatient expansion.

This panel will examine where providers are expanding, what developers and investors are building, how construction is evolving to deliver these facilities faster, and what this means for commercial real estate across the region.
