Why Attend South Florida's Construction & Development Summit

Why It Matters:

 

South Florida is building at a scale and pace unlike any other region in the country, yet how projects are conceived, financed, and delivered is changing just as quickly. This summit brings together the full spectrum of industry leaders shaping that evolution:

 

those turning untapped land into new urban districts (Midtown Park by Proper),

those revolutionizing how buildings are constructed through AI, robotics, and modular innovation,

those challenging traditional development models with new approaches to ownership, design, and social impact, and

those executing billion-dollar megaprojects that are redefining skylines from Brickell to West Palm Beach.

 

 

What You Will Learn:

 

  • Inside the Strategy: How one of Miami’s largest undeveloped parcels, Midtown Park by Proper, is being assembled, financed, and designed to reshape the city’s core.
     
  • Next-Gen Construction: How AI, robotics, modular systems, and digital project management are revolutionizing how buildings are delivered — faster, safer, and smarter.
     
  • New Development Models: How mission-driven developers are using neuroscience, sustainability, and innovative ownership structures to create both social and financial impact
     
  • Mega Projects, Mega Impact: What it takes to finance, entitle, and execute billion-dollar developments like Pier Sixty-Six, HueHub, and One Brickell Riverfront in today’s volatile market.
     
  • Sustainability & Scale: How leading teams are embedding resiliency, wellness, and long-term environmental value into large-scale projects.
     
  • The Future Build Mindset: How collaboration among developers, contractors, architects, and policymakers is redefining what “constructability” means in the next decade of South Florida growth.
