Franklin Street expands to Miami

Franklin Street Real Estate Services has hired Deme Mekras to lead the firm’s new Miami office as regional managing partner, the company announced today. Mekras will be leading a South Florida investment sales team including former Marcus & Millichap senior director Elliot Shainberg and David Reinke, investment associate. “Miami has unquestionably established itself as a global market with broad international appeal,” Mekras said. “Multi-family in South Florida has rebounded almost completely to pre-recessional levels — creating a great place to do business.” — Alexander Britell
