Why it matters
South Florida's multifamily sector shows resilience with bigger deals despite oversupply and declining rents, pointing to value in premium, newer properties.[[1]](https://therealdeal.com/miami/2026/04/02/falcone-sells-fort-lauderdale-rentals-to-journey-capital/) Investors like Journey Capital gain foothold in Fort Lauderdale's urban core, while sellers like Falcone cash out on 2010s developments. Watch for more trades in stabilized towers and any rent stabilization as supply absorption continues.[[1]](https://therealdeal.com/miami/2026/04/02/falcone-sells-fort-lauderdale-rentals-to-journey-capital/)
