Tere Blanca

Blanca started Blanca Commercial Real Estate at the depths of the Great Recession, after holding top posts with Cushman & Wakefield. Ultimately, she followed a common path for women who reach the highest echelons of real estate. Instead of scaling the ranks of an established firm, she started her own company. 

That makes Blanca the lone decision maker for a company not only born during a bust, but one that endured South Florida’s pandemic boom and now faces the challenge of navigating a cooling market. 

Blanca CRE has held a 30 percent market share of Miami-Dade office leasing since 2018 thanks to some A-list clients. It represents Nuveen Real Estate and Pimco Prime Real Estate’s 250-acre Waterford Business District, as well as the owners of Brickell’s 1450 Brickell Avenue tower, where JP Morgan Chase doubled its office, as well as CP Group’s One Biscayne Tower. 

Other clients include the Well Bay Harbor Islands, where Blanca CRE has secured pre-leases with Legacy Wealth Advisors, fintech firm NewCo Capital Group and Tom Brady’s family office TEB Capital Management. 

Challenges could be on the horizon for Blanca, who represents Hines and Urban Street Development’s T3 FAT Village office project under construction in downtown Fort Lauderdale. As of early 2026, amidst a market cooling, no T3 FAT Village pre-leases have been announced.
