    Ricardo Dunin - Founder & CEO of Oak Capital

    Over some Flor De Cana & Tequila we sit down with Ricardo Dunin, Founder & CEO of Oak Capital. Ricardo is behind some of Miami’s most iconic developments, including The Mutiny Hotel, Sonesta Coconut Grove, Meridian Lofts,  The Ritz-Carlton Residences Miami Beach, and currently the Domus projects in Brickell, and Edgewater.  Born in Minnesota, raised in Brazil, and trained across global markets, Ricardo’s journey spans investment banking in Nashville, real estate in New York, and building a dominant commercial brokerage in Rio before ultimately planting roots in South Florida. From pioneering Miami’s first luxury condo-hotel to transforming the former Miami Heart Institute into one of the most refined residential properties in the city, Ricardo has built a career on seeing opportunity where others see obstacles. We talk about the early days of professionalizing real estate in Brazil, taking bold risks, partnering with global brands like Ritz-Carlton, and why great developers are more like orchestra conductors than builders. This is a conversation about vision, design, risk, and what it really takes to create projects that define a city. Connect with us Want to dive deeper into Miami’s commercial real estate scene?

    Q4 2025 Market Update: Juan Arias, National Director of Industrial Analytics, CoStar Group & Anthony Graziano, CEO, Integra Realty Resources

    This quarter, we poured some whiskey and sat down with two of the sharpest minds in commercial real estate data: Juan Arias, National Director of Industrial Analytics at CoStar Group, and Anthony Graziano, Chairman & CEO of Integra Realty Resources. Every quarter, Juan and Anthony help us cut through the noise and break down what’s actually moving Miami’s industrial market: pricing trends, vacancy shifts, absorption, capital flows, and where deals are getting done (and where they aren’t). The conversation ranged from industrial fundamentals to politics, tariffs, and where real opportunities may be emerging in today’s market. We started with industrial, often an early indicator of broader economic health, then zoomed out to a wider discussion on commercial real estate, touching on macroeconomic forces, demographics, and how investors should be thinking about the current environment.

    Patrick Murphy - CEO & Founder, Togal.AI & CIO, Coastal Construction

    Today we’re drinking tequila with Patrick Murphy, Chief Investment Officer of Coastal Construction and former U.S. Congressman. A true South Floridian, Patrick’s path runs from growing up in the Keys to Congress, and back to the job sites shaping South Florida’s skyline. His family’s firm, Coastal Construction, is behind many of the high-rises going up today. We get into what’s broken in politics, what’s broken in construction, and how Patrick is betting on alternative building systems and Togal.AI to use artificial intelligence to revolutionize the way projects get estimated and built.
