South Florida's 2026 Refinancing Wall: What Property Owners Need to Do Now

A wave of commercial real estate loans originated during the low-interest-rate environment of 2020 and 2021 is now approaching maturity—and today's financing landscape looks very different.

In his latest legal update, firm partner Dan Kaskel examines what South Florida property owners should be doing now to prepare, from modeling potential refinancing gaps and starting lender conversations early to evaluating alternative financing structures and reviewing existing loan documents.

The message is simple: don’t wait until the maturity date is around the corner to start planning.

After the Storm: What Actually Ends Up in Dispute

Forecasters expect a below normal hurricane season this year. NOAA puts the odds of below normal activity at 55 percent, projecting 8 to 14 named storms with 3 to 6 becoming hurricanes. Last season, for the first time in a decade, no hurricane made landfall on the continental United States.

But associations that come through a difficult storm in reasonable shape are almost never the lucky ones. They are the ones that did this work in August.

Q: "Can we enforce a rule if it hasn't been enforced in years?"

A: This is a common question from boards and managers, especially when a long-standing issue suddenly becomes a priority. While inconsistent enforcement does not necessarily invalidate a rule, it can make future enforcement more challenging and, in some cases, expose the association to claims of selective enforcement.

Before taking action, boards should review their governing documents, evaluate how the rule has been enforced historically, and determine whether there have been exceptions or inconsistencies over time. If enforcement has lapsed, it may be appropriate to notify residents that the association intends to begin enforcing the rule consistently going forward.

The key is fairness and consistency. Applying rules uniformly to all owners, documenting enforcement efforts, and following the procedures outlined in the governing documents can help reduce disputes and strengthen the association's position. When questions arise about restarting enforcement of an older rule, obtaining legal guidance can help boards move forward confidently while minimizing potential risk.
