Spotlight on Suarez: The Miami Mayor Keeps His Eye on the Real Estate Ball 

“It was an honor to … share some insights into how we’re helping to pave a pathway to prosperity and create a better quality of life for every Miamian.” 

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez recently addressed the Real Estate Roundtable, an annual conference in Washington, D.C. The mayor, who was invited to speak by RER Chairman John Fish and RER President and CEO Jeff DeBoer, highlighted Miami’s focus on job growth, innovative new technologies, and a proven track record for making Miami one of the best cities in the country for new investment.

“It was an honor to join John Fish, Jeff DeBoer, and leaders from across the real estate industry and share some insights into how we’re helping to pave a pathway to prosperity and create a better quality of life for every Miamian,” said Mayor Suarez. 

Fish serves as CEO of the national contractor Suffolk, whose projects include Aman Miami Beach, PortMiami Terminal V for Virgin Voyages and the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Sunny Isles.
