EACC Panel: Florida Real Estate 2026

Florida’s built environment is being reshaped by competing forces: ambitious design visions, rising expectations for mixed-use and waterfront living, and a tougher capital and regulatory landscape. Higher interest rates, construction costs, and zoning complexity mean that not every bold concept can actually be realized—raising a simple but pressing question: what can we still build?

This executive briefing will bring together leaders from architecture, capital markets, and legal advisory to examine how Florida projects are being redesigned to remain financeable and deliverable. With Arquitectonica’s global perspective, the discussion will contrast Florida’s development environment with European markets to reveal what works—and what doesn’t—across borders. From density and resilience to conversions and capital stacks, speakers will explore where design ambitions align with today’s constraints—and where trade-offs are unavoidable.

Hosted and moderated by Kaufman Rossin, the conversation will offer practical insights into the opportunities and constraints shaping the next cycle of real estate development.
