Fort Lauderdale held an $4.32 billion exposed as reported by The Real Deal. Cranes were reported down at PMG's 300 Biscayne Avenue and Related Group's GranParaiso and Auberge Beach Residences and Spa in Fort Lauderdale. According to Turnberry Associates CEO Jeffrey Soffer in an interview on CNBC, he doesn't believe that the South Florida real estate markets or prices will take a hit in the long term. “It’s just a way of life. It doesn’t happen that often, and the reality is that Florida’s very well prepared," said Soffer. At the same time Stuart Miller of Lennar Corp. announced that Irma has delayed hundreds of home deliveries. The nation's largest home builder said that close to 700 home deliveries in Florida, George and South Carolina have been impacted.
