Some days become part of history.

Some become part of who we are.

September 11, 2001, was both.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the families changed forever and the heroes who answered the call.

We remember the fear and the grief. We remember the courage and the compassion. And we remember the people — because people are what history must never forget.

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.

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.
