As another new year unfolds before us, we take stock of our lives and look at what we can improve. For a lot of us, reflecting on last year’s goals feels daunting because of the reminder of just how much has changed. It’s likely that the landscape of your industry is still reverberating in ripple effects from a tsunami worth of necessary protocol changes, layoffs, restructuring, etc and it feels like your foundation is suddenly built on sand.
If there is one thing that this past year has taught us, it’s that the figurative ground under our feet isn’t fixed…
During a pandemic, it’s natural that a lot of us have felt lonely at some point. Whether that feeling is from living alone and suddenly having to work remotely, or spending 24/7 with your family instead of your like minded colleagues; it’s all rooted in a feeling of disconnection. In fact, the feeling of loneliness can exist regardless of the amount of social contact you engage in. What most of us don’t realize is that loneliness isn’t just unpleasant, it can also have serious health consequences. …

As the founder and chairman of one of the top commercial real estate firms in southern Florida with over 40 years experience, Stephen Bittel knows the industry. A native of Miami whose family has lived in the city for generations, Bittel has used this knowledge of his hometown in combination with a shrewd intuition for trends within the real estate market to build Terranova, a company that has served as the exclusive agent for more than $5 billion worth of commercial projects throughout Florida.

When Timothy Schmand took over as executive director of the Lincoln Road Business Improvement District almost 2 1/2 years ago, the closest Miami had come to a pandemic was on a movie screen.
Lincoln Road, it seemed then, had more pressing problems. Commercial rents were soaring, forcing small businesses from Miami Beach’s signature pedestrian promenade, and the freewheeling ambiance of the Road seemed to be giving way to corporate slickness.
Last year, rates began to cool. As 2020 began, new local-market tenants were lining up, including Miami’s first Amazon four-star location — a concept where the store’s inventory includes only…
2019 Enters With a Storm
January 2, 2019 — I continue to get asked where we are in the commercial real estate cycle, with a good bit more urgency after the last tumultuous weeks. So much of where we are going as an economy is better understood by a quick explanation of where we have been.
2018 experienced the long anticipated increases in interest rates throughout the year. While rates are still low compared to historic levels since 1979, when I began my career, we have been spoiled by short term rates at almost zero and long rates, under 4 percent. Cash deposits have earned…

Take a look into Stephen Bittel’s real estate crystal ball
August 20, 2018 — WHERE ARE WE IN THE CYCLE????
This seems as recurrent a daily ask as brushing my teeth in the morning. I keep my crystal ball perfectly dusted off to give me the clearest view possible looking into the future, while cognizant of the past. Amidst a rising but choppy stock market, increasing interest rates, 6 months of growth in retail sales, and the start of inflation, we should pause and assess where we are and what might lie ahead. So here I go:
When asked a few weeks ago on a NAIOP panel in Miami as…
