I build real estate companies in South Florida. Founder & CEO @ Vera Group. Notes on deals, cities and lessons learned.

@phcppros @bldgsciences @HUDgov Worth watching for rentals. The win isn't only speed. It's fewer weather days, and in South Florida that's real.

@volvoshine Every South Florida jobsite is asking for the same refund. October rain moves more schedules than any inspector.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@refreshmiami Love this. Six months in a shop building something people will actually walk past teaches more than any rendering.

@volvoshine If it's a GTA stunt, the marine crew setting it up is the real Vice City story. Barges on the bay never set up fast.

She got the DeLorean running. The time circuits work, I checked.

Boat show week in Fort Lauderdale. Every one of those yachts is a construction project: tight spaces, salt, water everywhere. Builders on land can learn a lot from boat builders.

[South Florida Sun Sentinel @SunSentinel]

The 67th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will welcome more than 50 debut vessels and more than 130 superyachts including a 305-foot behemoth converted into a research vessel. https://t.co/sy0N03P4g2

Best rule on a jobsite too. You can raise your voice about a schedule, but the day you actually get angry with a sub, you pay for it in the next change order.

[Moses Kagan @moseskagan]

Some advice from my great-grandfather Morris, via my mother (which I sometimes struggle to follow):

In business, you don't get angry. You might pretend to be angry, if it helps win a negotiation or make a point. But you don’t actually get angry. There’s no profit in it.

@refreshmiami Good to see Wynwood AI companies growing here instead of moving out. Every team that stays needs homes close by.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@SFBJNews Fast delivery is changing what renters want from a lobby. The package room used to be an afterthought; now it's a must.

My wife surprised me with a Back to the Future birthday. Showed up in a DeLorean. Best surprise I've had in years.

@trdny @Colliers When sales volume comes back, it usually means buyers and sellers finally agree on the rent story.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@MiamiHerald Days like this are why site elevation and drainage come first on any South Florida project, before a single finish gets picked.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@volvoshine That's when every balcony in South Florida finally gets used.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@OfficialJoelF @Heater316 First Burger Shot at Kaseya Center, now the Clevelander. Rockstar is taking over Miami one block at a time.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@LoganMohtashami You feel it on site. Good crews stay booked months out, even with fewer starts.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@NewsLambert Faster cycle times are the quiet win. Every month saved on a jobsite is a month of carry you don't pay.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@volvoshine If robotaxis work, parking rules for new rental buildings need a rethink. Fewer garage levels, more homes.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@volvoshine A bridge like that is how downtown starts working as one neighborhood. People rent where they can walk to the game.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@SFBJNews A decade is normal for big projects. Most of that time is approvals and financing, not construction.

[Nick Polyushkin | nickprorealty @nickprorealty]

@SFBJNews More height on the right corridors is how you get buildings regular people can rent. Parking and setback details decide how much actually gets built.
