Questions to follow in subsequent posts ;-) After having the opportunity to live, work and play in the Florida Keys, I came to the realization it was fun and I wanted to make it permanent.

The ups and downs and the stages of each cycle are heavily followed in the commercial space (every big commercial brokerage has a PowerPoint slide in each of their decks about the stage of strip malls, apartments, office, hotel, etc.)Trying to time a market is crazy - but that is not what most people mean when they say they want to "time a market."

Basically their story is box department stores and apparel is on the way out and they are leasing to new types of tenants.I also think slide 14 does a good job of summarizing the transformation.
