What They're Saying About Fla. Real Estate at 2026's Midpoint

Partner Hugo Arza, who leads Holland & Knight's Miami Real Estate Practice Group, was quoted in a Law360 article examining Florida's real estate market at the midpoint of 2026. Industry leaders described a market that has stabilized following the state's post-pandemic boom while remaining resilient despite challenges related to interest rates, affordability and insurance costs. Mr. Arza observed that conditions are improving for single-family home development as sellers become more willing to put land on the market. He also discussed the potential impact of Florida's new Senate Bill 1434, also known as the Infill Redevelopment Act, which would preempt local land use and zoning regulations to authorize residential development on certain parcels. He shared what the bill could mean for development opportunities in South Florida.

"How this new regulation plays out, particularly in the context of larger tracts such as golf courses, could be market moving," he said.
