ABANCA USA Leads Real Estate Forum 2026, Highlighting Miami's Evolution as a Global Hub

ABANCA USA was the main presenter of the Real Estate Forum 2026, a meeting organized by the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in the US to analyze the trends and challenges redefining the real estate landscape in the region. The forum, held at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), brought together more than 150 developers, investors, financial executives, brokers, architects, urban planners and business leaders from the United States, Spain and Latin America, consolidating Miami as one of the main global centers for real estate investment and development.

The day began 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 of OKO Group and professor at the University of Miami. They analyzed the evolution of Miami as a global city, the sustained growth of the residential market and the attractiveness of the city as a strategic destination for long-term investments.

Throughout the forum, executives and experts discussed key trends transforming the South Florida real estate market, including the growth of the multifamily segment, the evolution of mixed-use spaces, corporate relocation, and the challenges of infrastructure and affordable housing. Prominent industry players such as Rilea Group, Constellation, Empira, Berkadia, Key International, JLL, Coastal Construction, DDA, Blanca Real Estate, among others, reaffirmed Miami’s role as an international hub.

In this context, ABANCA USA stood out as an institution offering personalized financial solutions and a global vision of the business. In recent years, the bank has positioned itself as one of the most active players in project financing in the region, participating in multifamily, office, retail, hotel and industrial developments. The forum also highlighted how economic and population growth in South Florida continues to drive new real estate developments, as well as the need for greater collaboration between the private sector and public institutions to sustain urban growth efficiently and sustainably.

ABANCA USA’s participation reflects its commitment to the economic growth of South Florida and to strengthening strategic ties with entrepreneurs, developers and investors in one of the most dynamic markets in the world. The event underscores Miami's continued appeal as a magnet for capital and companies, and the critical role of financial institutions like ABANCA in facilitating that growth.
