After more than 55 years in #DowntownMiami, our firm Podhurst Orseck, P.A. is excited to announce that we will be relocating to 2525 Ponce De Leon Blvd in the highly sought after City of Coral Gables. According to our Managing Partner Steven C. Marks, "In years past, our practice was primarily centered in state and federal courts in South Florida, but it has expanded nationally and internationally such that our presence next to the courthouse is no longer as important as it once was." We look forward to meeting all our new neighbors and enjoying all that the City Beautiful has to offer. Learn more about our move ➡️ bit.ly/PORELO . . Stephen F.

Court Decision Hurts Florida Condo Owners Wishing to Sell, writes @bilzin Sumberg real estate partner Joe Hernandez for the Miami Herald Since the collapse of the Champlain Towers South three years ago, #Florida has been scrambling to prevent another tragedy, instituting new laws and regulations to ensure #condo building safety. With critical deadlines coming at the end of this year, condo owners are facing dramatically and unexpected increased costs and the potential of having to leave their homes — but indecision from the Third District Court of Appeal over a key case is creating a market standstill, and threatening the homes and livelihoods of thousands of condo owners.

Asi Cymbal 🎗️, chairman of Cymbal DLT Companies, can attest to the life-changing impacts of #realestate, which he discovered – thanks to his mother – while in high school in Brooklyn, New York... as reported by Erik Bojnansky for the South Florida Business Journal.   He later worked for developers in the Empire State and California before moving in 2003 to South Florida, where he launched his own real estate company.   His recent projects include The Nautico District, a $1.5 billion mixed-use community in Fort Lauderdale; Laguna Gardens in Miami Gardens; Oasis Pointe in Dania Beach; and a proposed 36-story tower in Midtown #Miami that would include workforce housing.   “You can’t really go wrong in South Florida because everyone wants to be in South Florida,” he says. Why did you enter the real estate sector? I got in the field because that’s how I saw my mother get our family out of poverty. She was renting a one-bedroom co-op and borrowed money from friends and family – I think it was $10,000 at the time – and bought the unit. She then sold it for more money than she made all year as a bookkeeper at a tie factory. She then went on to her next deal and her next deal, and I thought, “Well, that’s my ticket out. That’s what I’m going to do.” Read the full Q&A in the link below... Hector delaTorres Brian Bandell Mel Meléndez Stephanie Toothaker Anthony De Yurre, Esq, LLM Schwartz Media Strategies
