by Lynn Peisner

By Ari Pearl Branded luxury in the South Florida multifamily market has moved from fad to fundamental.

by Lynn Peisner

By Tessa Castner and Grace Kuntz Most multifamily owners and managers are aware that discrimination against disabled tenants can result in litigation and increase a project’s operating expenses, which could make the difference between turning a profit and having to write a check to cover operating deficits.

Though the terms reasonable accommodation and reasonable …
