Big changes are coming to the Sunshine State. The Live Local Act, which took effect in July, has been a catalyst for affordable housing, giving multifamily developers new tax breaks, streamlining permits and getting funding for new developments to meet the population surge in Florida. On the market-rate side, strong renter demand has driven rents higher than the monthly mortgage payment on condominiums or townhomes purchased at the median sales price in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Martin counties.

Demand for multifamily homes in Florida is strong, and with the passage of the new act, construction is likely to continue to rise. What does this mean for multifamily investment in the state? How can developers create the right mixed-use communities to meet the demands of today’s tenants? What will happen to the affordable housing market? Find out the answers to these questions and more at Bisnow’s Florida Multifamily, Mixed-Use, Condos and Affordable Housing Summit on Nov. 14 at the Four Seasons Hotel Miami. Register here.
