Adler."},"content":{"rendered":"
Marketing hype is a proven way to get the public interested in a development project. But William Hardin, director of real estate programs in the College of Business at Florida International University (FIU), is offering students and graduates an educational forum in which they can move beyond the one-liners to gain true insight into the world of commercial and residential development.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur team created the Developers Lunch series so students and alumni could hear from important developers about what it takes to make a project a reality,\u201d Hardin said. \u201cWe are inviting developers who have projects already approved or in development.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first in the once-a-semester series featured Michael M. Adler, chairman of the Adler Group, a diversified commercial and residential development group. Adler and key company leaders shared background and details on the Shorecrest project, two 20-story luxury apartment buildings in Miami.<\/p>\n A packed house, 110 people, gathered for the event, including many current FIU students who attendance was underwritten by FIU\u2019s Jerome Bain Real Estate Institute.<\/p>\n \u201cThis kick-off was not the \u2018same old same old\u2019 event,\u201d Hardin said. \u201cWhat Michael Adler and his people gave was an exciting and valuable perspective into this project, an exceptional opportunity for attendees.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a>
