Unlocking Potential – Mastering Florida’s Live Local Act
Hosted by CREW Miami | June 18, 2025 | Mayfair House Hotel & Garden, Coconut Grove

CREW Miami hosted a sold-out Lunch and Learn at the elegant Mayfair House Hotel & Garden, spotlighting one of Florida’s most consequential housing policy shifts: the Live Local Act. With legislative changes on the horizon, this power-packed event drew real estate professionals, legal experts, and community leaders eager to understand how SB1730 will reshape zoning, development rights, and administrative processes across the state.

The panel discussion—moderated by Shannon Wilson of Berkadia—featured a dynamic lineup of experts:

Together, they unpacked how the amended legislation offers both opportunity and complexity for developers, municipalities, and legal teams. Attendees walked away with actionable insights and legal strategies for navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.

As 2025 Board President Josie Legido Correa noted, “This is more than a policy discussion—it’s a roadmap for leading South Florida’s real estate future with clarity and confidence.”

CREW Miami continues to elevate and educate professionals at the intersection of real estate, law, and public policy—empowering women to lead in the industry and shaping the conversation on issues that matter.
