Summary
The Real Deal has promoted its 2026 Miami Real Estate Forum, scheduled for November 4 and 5 at the Mana Wynwood Convention Center. The event announcement is built around a reported transaction in which Moishe Mana sold his Mana Wynwood parcel to Ken Griffin for more than $1 billion. The publication characterizes the deal as a signal of investment in South Florida's evolution from a global center for luxury and finance into a hub for technology and innovation, noting that corporate relocations, large architectural projects and the reimagining of neighborhood destinations are reshaping the region's skylines and economic identity.
The forum's main stage and show floor are slated to feature a group of real estate and government leaders. Judy Zeder of The Jills Zeder Group, identified by TRD's research team as Miami's top-producing brokerage team with more than $1 billion in annual sales volume, is among the speakers. David Martin of Terra will discuss resilient and luxury residential projects from Miami to West Palm Beach, including The Well, Jean-Georges Miami Tropic Residences and Mr. C Residences. Dina Goldentayer of Douglas Elliman, described as an ultra-luxury authority, is listed for her role in high-value waterfront transactions, including the Indian Creek sale to Jeff Bezos for $79 million.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava is scheduled to outline policy, infrastructure and urban planning priorities, with housing affordability and growth on the agenda. Gil Dezer of Dezer Development, whose projects include the Bentley Residences Miami and Porsche Design Tower in Sunny Isles, and Michael Comras of The Comras Company, who is leading the NoLi plan to convert 155,000 square feet of retail and commercial space on Lincoln Road, round out the announced lineup. The publisher notes more than 50 speakers in total; the full agenda is published separately.
