Miami is expected to bring nearly 23,000 new apartments and condos this year, which is double what was delivered annually in each of the past three years. According to board-certified construction lawyer Jordan Nadel with Miami-based law firm Mark Migdal & Hayden, between 2021 and 2022, only 2.5% more construction employees were hired.

With the average multifamily project taking an average of one to three years to deliver, the number of employees should have increased by 50%. An increase in projects equals 50% more human error, which means more lawsuits.
