The women’s panel was followed by the Coral Gables Design and Development Panel, which featured Eduardo Otaola of Constellation Group, Diego Torrealba of MG Developer, Raymond Fort of Arquitectonica, Scott Sherman of Torose Equities and Scott Wadler of Berkadia discussed how Coral Gables Mediterranean revival architectural requirements impact development and the valuation of real estate in ‘The City Beautiful.’ Developers Diego Torrealba and Eduardo Otaola touched on how they worked with the Coral Gables design codes to plan projects that enhance the quality of the community while Scott Wadler discussed the differences between Build to Rent vs Build to Sell. Scott Sherman also discussed how companies such as Apple are moving into Coral Gables and bringing their high-paying employees, pushing both residential and commercial rent rates higher.
