Orlando Gains Momentum Via Strong Office Leasing, Owner-User Acquisitions

by John Nelson August 31, 2026

Orlando’s office market is experiencing a notable resurgence, driven by strong sales volume across both owner-user transactions and institutional investment activity. This surge is helping push vacancies lower, tightening the leasing market and reinforcing investor confidence in the metro’s long-term fundamentals. Orlando is moving decisively past its post-pandemic softness and into a new phase of growth. Lease rates remained largely stable, with the market average sitting at $28.36 per square foot in the second quarter. Trophy space, meanwhile, commands average asking rents of $36.52 per square foot, a $4.20 premium over Class A product. However, several indicators suggest that stability may soon give way to upward movement. Recent owner-user sales activity, combined with high-profile leasing commitments such as TMRW Sports, the golf-technology venture backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, signing for 40,000 square feet in downtown Orlando, points to tightening conditions and growing demand for premium space. Landlords with quality assets in well-located submarkets are increasingly positioned to push rents higher in the coming quarters. That growth is underpinned by strong population and employment gains, with particularly robust expansion in healthcare, technology and professional services. Health and education services posted a 4.5 percent increase in employment over the previous …

What’s Changing in Senior Living Sector, And What Does It Mean for Construction?

by John Nelson August 25, 2026

Senior living has changed a lot in the past five or six years. The shift was underway before the pandemic, but it has accelerated recently. Now, there is a clear move away from institutional designs toward communities that feel more like hotels, with a focus on wellness, flexibility and the resident experience. The way spaces are designed has changed as well. In the past, facilities had large, central common areas. Now, layouts focus on flexible use and smaller, spread-out gathering spaces. There is also more focus on connecting with the outdoors, so courtyards, walking paths and shaded seating are now standard. Industry research shows that spaces that support social engagement and health are important, which is guiding how buildings are now designed and built. We have seen these changes firsthand through our work across the senior living sector. ANF recently completed Wellspring Apartments in Miami, a complex that reflects the growing need for well-located, intentionally designed housing for older adults. We are also building All Seasons Delray Beach for Beztak, a luxury senior living community centered on hospitality, lifestyle and elevated amenities. In Pembroke Pines, we are completing the final phase of Douglas Gardens for McDowell Housing Partners and Miami …
