The Aging Condo Conundrum: Opportunities for Redevelopment

A lack of developable land in Florida, coupled with a rise in demand for commercial and residential real estate, is leading savvy investors to redevelop aging condominiums.

In 2022, the Florida legislature passed a series of laws impacting the nearly 1.5 million condominium units throughout the state – along with the 28,000 associations overseeing the properties. These strict policy changes may open the door to a significant rise in condo redevelopment.

The Florida condo market is recalibrating, as changes to the Condo Act tank the market for 30-plus year old condos, creating uncertainty for the thousands of families who own them. But developers looking to buy them are facing their own uncertainty.
