Inside Out – Terranova Proves Building Communities Truly Begins at Home

February 19, 2018 — TERRANOVA TRENDS — BY ANDREA SPEEDY As the South Florida real estate landscape continues to grow and change at a breakneck pace. Terranova has remained committed to their roots. During this current development cycle, and all other before it, Terranova has stayed connected to South Florida neighborhoods and beyond by remembering it is those who actually live and work here that make up any community.

“At Terranova, we’re driven by what our communities really need and how we can make a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. Whenever we can, we work that into our leasing efforts and development projects, but more importantly, we encourage every member of our team to be active and involved in their communities,” says Terranova Chairman, Stephen Bittel. With so many out-of-state and foreign teams competing for their places on the skyline, the South-Florida-based company’s mindset is unique. It also explains how the now 35-year-old firm has maintained a solid presence throughout the area’s numerous market transitions. “We’re a part of the fabric of this community,” says Bittel. “We’re in it for the long haul. Quite simply, this place means something to all of us on a personal level, which means we’re in this business to see things through.”
