Horizon Properties

What Horizon Properties does

Horizon Properties of Miami, Inc. is a privately held Florida commercial real estate advisory and investment firm founded in 1995 by Jorge E. Alvarino and Joel Benes. The company operates from its headquarters in Hialeah/Miami and specializes in leasing and local management of commercial properties across the state of Florida, with a stated focus on the South Florida retail market where it is ranked among the Top 5 Retail Leasing Companies by volume and is a CoStar Top Firm Award Winner. Its service portfolio spans property management (4M+ SF across 140+ properties and 1,500+ tenants, with a 2.3% portfolio vacancy rate), landlord and tenant leasing representation, investment sales (acquisition and disposition of retail, office, multi-family land, and net lease properties), business brokerage, and a healthcare real estate specialization serving medical tenants such as Mount Sinai, Cleveland Clinic of Florida, Jackson Health, and Quest Diagnostics.

The firm operates a partner-led, hands-on service model where founders and partners serve as primary client contacts across the entire engagement lifecycle. Revenue is generated through transaction-based commissions on leasing and investment sales, recurring management fees on third-party managed properties, and fees on business brokerage engagements. Marketing is primarily relationship-driven, supplemented by commercial listing platforms (CoStar, LoopNet, Crexi), industry associations (ICSC, IBBA), drone photography, and a self-service LoopLink property search portal. The technology stack is conventional for the industry—the proprietary "S.C.O.T. Analysis" is a strategic marketing framework rather than a technology platform—and no AI/ML capabilities, software products, or technology IP are disclosed.

Customer concentration is low given the diversified base of 1,500+ tenants across food and beverage, healthcare, retail, insurance, and legal industries, with logos spanning SMBs (Taco Rico, Vicky Bakery, Kujo's Coffee) and institutional-grade tenants (Aldi, Mount Sinai, Cleveland Clinic of Florida). The firm manages 325 clients across 2,056 completed projects and benefits from long-tenured client relationships anchored by the founders' combined 100 years of real estate experience. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured per engagement based on transaction type, property size, and scope.
