Miami, FL, Thursday, May 28, 2026. ABANCA USA served as the main presenter of the Real Estate Forum 2026, an exclusive gathering organized by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the United States to analyze the trends and challenges currently shaping the future of Miami’s real estate market and its growing role as an international business hub.
Held at the iconic Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), the event took place on Wednesday, May 20, and brought together more than 150 developers, investors, financial executives, brokers, architects, urban planners, and business leaders from the United States, Spain, and Latin America. The forum reinforced Miami’s position as one of the world’s most dynamic destinations for real estate investment, corporate relocation, and international capital.
The event opened with a conversation between Mónica Vázquez, President of the Spain–United States Chamber of Commerce and General Manager of ABANCA USA, and Muayad Abbas, Managing Director of Development at OKO Group and professor at the University of Miami. Their discussion focused on Miami’s evolution into a global city, the sustained growth of the residential market, and the city’s increasing appeal for long-term international investment.
Throughout the forum, industry leaders discussed key trends transforming South Florida’s real estate landscape, including the expansion of the multifamily sector, the evolution of mixed-use developments, corporate migration into Florida, and the ongoing challenges related to infrastructure and affordable housing.
Prominent companies such as Rilea Group, Constellation, Empira, Berkadia, Key International, JLL, Coastal Construction, DDA, and Blanca Real Estate participated in the discussions, further highlighting the importance of Miami as a strategic international market.
Within this context, ABANCA USA stood out as a financial institution strongly focused on serving both local and international clients through personalized banking solutions and a global business perspective. In recent years, the bank has positioned itself as one of the most active financial players supporting real estate development projects throughout the region, including multifamily, office, retail, hospitality, and industrial sectors.
The forum also emphasized how South Florida’s economic and population growth continues to drive new development opportunities while increasing the need for stronger collaboration between private industry and public institutions to ensure sustainable urban growth.
ABANCA USA’s participation in the Real Estate Forum 2026 reflects not only its commitment to the continued economic growth of South Florida, but also its strategy of strengthening relationships with developers, investors, entrepreneurs, and international business leaders in one of the most competitive and globally connected markets in the world.
