A decade after the 2008 collapse, BTI Partners’ managing partner discusses how his company adapted to economic crisis. The firm transformed from a mid-size developer into one of Florida’s largest owners of ready-to-build land, with over 10,000 acres and over 15,000 residential lots.
Key survival tactics included acquiring distressed Community Development District bonds worth over $700 million when builders defaulted. Current projects include Marina Pointe (luxury Tampa condos), The Grove Resort in Orlando, and Arbor Parc.
