Episode Overview In this Feb. 20, 2026, episode of the Buy, Sell, Hold Miami™ podcast, Hernandez, Zalewski and special guest Andrew Rasken of Meta Development cut through the local rhetoric, delivering straight talk on five of the biggest topics of critical importance to South Florida investors. The trio discuss each topic and then announce whether each of them is a Buy, a Sell or a Hold on the issue. Their verdicts often differ, leading to sharp debate on the issue before moving on to the next topic. During the 75-minute discussion, the trio analyzes the growing dominance of the boutique development model as a safer alternative to massive highrise towers, with Rasken detailing how Meta Development left density on the table to prioritize intentional, curated design. The conversation pivots to Rasken’s personal “Origin Story,” tracing his transition from building spec houses to developing boutique condos like Colette and Opus Coconut Grove. The panel engages in a heated debate regarding the recent Palantir software company’s relocation to Aventura, weighing whether the tech giant’s arrival signals a permanent ecosystem shift or mere “ballyhoo” intended to capture the attention of a friendly administration. They also tackle the rising cost of land, questioning if the current $520 million record for stabilized office land marks the peak of Miami’s irrational exuberance or merely the fifth inning of a long-term wealth migration. Finally, the group explores why the domestic buyer now demands “Curated Floor Plans” that mimic single-family living, as Rasken explains the necessity of finishing units with floors, kitchens and closets to meet the standards of high-earning relocators. The discussion concludes with a look at the “Safety Play” of South American capital, noting that despite the weak Brazilian Real, the desire for a secure principal investment continues to drive demand for boutique products in Class A submarkets.
