Commercial Real Estate Women Miami will open 2026 with its Annual Economic Forecast Breakfast on Wednesday, January 21, featuring Miami developer and entrepreneur Saif Ishoof. The event will be held from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the Hotel Colonnade in Coral Gables.
Positioned as CREW Miami’s first major program of the year, the breakfast brings together professionals from commercial real estate, development, finance, and business for discussion and networking. The program is open to members and nonmembers, with breakfast included.
Ishoof is the founder of Lab22c and a former Senior Advisor for Innovation and Technology to the City of Miami. He also co-founded Venture Miami, a public-private initiative focused on attracting technology companies and talent to the region. His work has placed him at the center of Miami’s recent growth as a national hub for innovation and investment.
In addition to his development work, Ishoof hosts The Saif Effect, a business-focused YouTube podcast that has gained significant traction since launching less than a year ago. Several episodes have reached tens of thousands of views, with one surpassing 600,000 views, reflecting the growing influence of digital platforms in business and real estate conversations.
Industry data shows podcast consumption continues to rise nationwide, with more than 210 million Americans having listened to or watched a podcast and over 40 percent doing so weekly. Business and economic content remains one of the fastest-growing segments, shaping how professional communities exchange ideas and insight.
According to CREW Miami leadership, the Economic Forecast Breakfast is designed to set the tone for the year ahead by focusing on shared knowledge and regional outlooks. Topics are expected to include macroeconomic forces affecting Greater Miami, emerging sectors driving development, and trends shaping the local commercial real estate market in 2026 and beyond.
