This year could mean an improvement for Miami’s commercial market, which has already seen gains in areas like retail and industrial, according to Miami Today. “It’s a very vibrant market right now, with a tremendous amount of capital looking for deals,” said Warren Weiser, co-founder of Continental Real Estate Companies. “The money side is fairly disciplined given what we’ve gone through before.” The industrial market has seen strength as a number of companies position themselves for the expansion of the Panama Canal, which is slated for completion in 2015 and will mean a slew of new large ships with access to the Port of Miami. On the retail side, Miami-Dade’s vacancy is the lowest in Florida, according to Howard Taft, managing director of Aztec Group. [Miami Today]
