Akerman is pleased to sponsor the 2026 South Florida Capital & Development Forum, Commercial Observer’s premier conference bringing together the real estate leaders driving and financing some of South Florida’s most anticipated developments, including condominium projects and other high-demand asset classes. The event offers exclusive, forward-looking discussions on where capital is flowing, which asset classes are outperforming, and how developers are creating opportunities in an increasingly disciplined and competitive environment.

Ben Wilson, a partner in Akerman’s Real Estate Practice Group, will moderate the panel, “Distinguishing Yourself from the Pack: Lifestyle-Driven Developments & Standing Out in a Competitive Market.” The discussion will explore how developers are differentiating their projects through innovative amenities, curated experiences, and community-focused design strategies that attract tenants, residents, investors, and customers in a crowded marketplace.

Joining Ben at the event will be Carol L. Schoffel Faber, Co-Chair of Akerman's Distressed Property Practice, and Neisen Kasdin, Co-Office Managing Partner of Akerman's Miami office, giving attendees the opportunity to connect with additional leaders from the firm's nationally recognized real estate practice.
