He was also honored with a Silver Stevie® Award in the Best Entrepreneur – Real Estate category.
Florance was recognized for his exceptional achievements in the global real estate sector, where despite the macroeconomic headwinds seen in recent years, he has overseen the continued growth of the business he founded in 1987.
