MIAMI—Condos are still closing at a rapid pace in South Florida, and Rennert Vogel Mandler & Rodriguez is frequently at the center of this activity. RVMR has assembled a highly capable and robust condominium closing practice that has closed more than 14,000 units—with total value in excess of $6 billion—over the last two decades. GlobeSt.com caught up with firm partner Jose A. Rodriguez what it's like to be part of the fast pace and continuous condominium closings.

GlobeSt.com: When we heard that your firm was working with many closings, we wondered what kind of numbers were you looking at?

Rodriguez: RVMR is on pace for more than 1,000 South Florida condominium closings in 2017. Many of the project closings scheduled for late in the fourth quarter of the year are delayed due to Hurricane Irma.
