A Message From
2018 FLCCIM Chapter President
Adam Palmer, CCIM



Dear Chapter Members,

Thirteen-some years ago in Chicago, I sat through the introductions of the instructors and fellow classmates in what was my first CCIM course. In less than 10 short minutes, I was certain that the CCIM Designation was something that I needed in order to better my career.

Choosing what you pay for and what you decide not to pay for as a professional can be a tricky decision. For most of us who work in the commercial real estate industry, we see many annual expenses pile-up for various subscriptions, services or dues and can have difficulty quantifying the true benefit and payoff of these optional expenses.

For me, CCIM was the best investment within my career. It provided me with the education and skill set that became instrumental in providing my client base with the higher level of analysis and professionalism they sought and deserved. And while the designation played a significant part in providing a better service to my customers, it has also gifted me an invaluable group of colleagues that can be tapped into for business and personal benefit...

Creative Village Moves Forward In Downtown Orlando

 
In Orlando,  Craig Ustler, MAI, CCIM , is leading the development team for  Creative Village . The master redevelopment project is under construction and will be home to the UCF/Valencia College Downtown Campus. Creative Village builds upon the success of Orlando's digital media industry by transforming the former Amway Arena site into a 68-acre mixed-use, transit oriented, urban infill neighborhood in the heart of downtown Orlando.
The vision for Creative Village focuses on creating a true "live, work, learn, and play" urban destination through a development plan that supports a synergistic and dynamic mix of uses including office/creative studios, higher education, PS-8 education, mixed-income residential, retail/commercial and hotel. Leading higher education providers; high-tech, digital media and creative companies; and a diverse mix of students, employees and residents will one day call Creative Village home.
Creative Village is a public/private partnership between the City of Orlando and the Master Developer, Creative Village Development, LLC (CVD). The CVD entity is a joint venture between Banc of America Community Development Corporation (BACDC) and a local team led by Craig Ustler with development partners Tim Baker and Brooke Myers. 
Vertical development partners include the University of Central Florida, Valencia College, DEVEN Development Ventures Group (formerly KUD International) and Atlantic Housing Partners.
