Commercial Real Estate, Investment Analyst Sees Mixed Signals on Economy, Housing News Promising
Commercial Real Estate, Investment Analyst Sees Mixed Signals on Economy, Housing News Promising
ORLANDO, Fla. - Veteran commercial real estate and investments analyst George Livingston, chairman emeritus of NAI Realvest in Maitland, said the Federal Bank of Atlanta’s recent economic update reports mixed signals on the U.S. economy but good news for the U.S. housing market.
While consumer gauges---the U.S. Consumer Confidence Index and the University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index---showed declines, capital goods orders increased modestly in June for the first time in more than a year.
Two major housing indices may signal a bottoming of the housing slump and the path toward recovery. The widely respected Case-Shiller Home Price Index was up, Livingston said, and new and existing single-family home sales were up in June for the third month in a row---and higher than industry expectations.
“It appears the housing market may be recovering and the rest of the economy is lagging,” said Livingston.

ABD Development Company Introduces Executive Pricing at Heritage Green at Providence Golf & Country Club
ORLANDO, Fla. - ABD Development Company, which is developing the master-planned 2,200 acre Providence Golf & Country Club Community off U.S. 17-92 in the Loughman-Davenport area of Polk County, is introducing executive pricing at Heritage Green at Providence.
David Kohn, president of ABD Development Company, which ranks as one of the region’s largest and most active custom home builders, said the new series of home designs will range from 2,480 square feet of living space to 3,510 square feet, with pricing in the mid-$350s.
“The trend today is toward smaller, more efficient luxury homes,” Kohn said. “The goal is greater sustainability, with energy-saving features and more affordable pricing,” Kohn said.
Kohn said the “smaller, smarter” trend apparent in the affordable housing market is growing more evident in the luxury homes market.
“The U.S. economy has changed, and the effects of this change should last for a decade or more,” Kohn said. “Across all markets, the emphasis is on smaller, smarter homes that are more efficient to own and maintain and more sustainable,” Kohn said. “We see this as a positive sea change in consumer preferences, and we want to build new luxury homes that will lead this trend,” Kohn added.

Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, CEO Nexus to Host Forum for CEOs on growing established local companies to next level
Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, CEO Nexus to Host Forum for CEOs on growing established local companies to next level
Full Sail University CEO Ed Haddock is Guest Speaker at invitation-only event
WINTER PARK, Fla. - The Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship in collaboration with CEO Nexus will host the CEO Nexus Forum, part of a program series that brings together leaders of established, second-stage businesses to meet and learn from CEOs who have successfully grown their companies into a more advanced stage of business development.
Cari Coats, newly appointed executive director at the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, said Ed Haddock, co-chairman and chief executive officer of Full Sail University, will be the guest speaker at the invitation only event that begins at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 9 in the Crummer Graduate School of Business Bush Executive Center.
The business community and Rollins are embracing and helping to lead the “economic gardening” strategy fostered by CEO Nexus that growing our own local companies is a vital part of job creation.
Providing an opportunity for mentoring the CEOs of often underserved second-stage businesses is a priority not only for the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship but for the CEOs of successful third and fourth-stage companies who realize the need to invest time in a confidential setting to advise and share growth strategies.
Haddock, along with his two partners and a talented team of executives built Full Sail University into one of the largest and most innovative entertainment, media and arts universities in the world. From the start of Haddock’s involvement in 1991, the school has grown from 300 to 7,700 students and the campus has grown to 190 acres with 801,000 square feet of studios, sound stages, media development and other support facilities.
Haddock and partners also expanded Full Sail’s post-secondary education portfolio to include The Los Angeles Film School, The Los Angeles Recording School and Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design.
Additionally, in 1973 Haddock was a founding partner, serving as chairman and managing partner of the law firm, Swann and Haddock, P.A., which by 1990 became one of Florida’s preeminent law firms. During the 1970s and 1980s Haddock was also a founding principal of financial institutions, insurance underwriting companies, homebuilding companies and real estate developments.
The Sept. 9 Forum is another in a series of events designed for second-stage CEOs and supported by the Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship, University of Central Florida’s Office of Research and Commercialization and the Florida High Tech Corridor, said Steve Quello, president of CEO Nexus.
“These events will all focus on ways companies can accelerate their growth and development in these challenging economic times,” Quello explained.
