ORLANDO - John Crossman, president of Crossman & Company, the Orlando-based commercial property company that ranks as one of the largest third-party retail leasing and management firms in the Southeast, will moderate a panel discussion on Real Estate Development Opportunities at Lake Nona on Thursday, April 29, at the Eagle Creek Golf Club, 10359 Emerson Lake Blvd. in Orlando.
The program, sponsored by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), will feature Ray Gilley, president and CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Mid-Florida, Dean Grandin, City of Orlando Planning Director, and Ryan Stahl, president of Equinox Development.
“Over the last decade, the Lake Nona area east of Orlando International Airport has seen significant growth,” Crossman said. “Lake Nona Country Club and several high end residential neighborhoods have anchored the area, and significant new commercial development such as Orlando’s Medical City, the University of Central Florida’s new Medical School, Nemours Children’s Hospital, a new Veterans Hospital and the Sanford Burnham Institute for Medical Research have changed the nature of the region,” Crossman said.
A new S.R. 417 interchange nearing completion at Moss Park Road will substantially improve access to the area, Crossman added.
The program is open to the public.
Earlier in the month Crossman participated in a panel on real estate careers at the University of Central Florida. Crossman emphasized the increased importance of specialization in commercial real estate and ongoing education and training.
“Commercial real estate is a complex industry and specialization is becoming an increasingly prevalent component,” Crossman said.
He advised students to focus early on leasing, development, institutional real estate, accounting, analysis or property management.
“Find out what you like and pursue it with passion,” Crossman told the students.
