2022 Young Leader of the Year
As the Vice President of Development at 13th Floor Investments, Aaron Stolear heads the firm’s Public Private Partnership (“P3”) Division, where he is leading the charge in South Florida’s P3 landscape. His thoughtful approach to P3s sets him apart in the industry, and has enabled 13th Floor to grow into one of South Florida’s foremost public-private developers.
At only 35 years old, Aaron has already cultivated an impressive pipeline of mixed-use development projects encompassing 3,288 residential units with an estimated collective value surpassing $1.5 billion. Among his most notable achievements is his pivotal role leading the Link at Douglas project, a mixed-use transit-oriented development spanning 1.5 million square feet that has gained widespread recognition as one of Miami-Dade County’s finest examples of a successful public-private collaboration. The transformative project has become the subject of a Harvard Business School case study titled “Miami Price, Bidding on an Iconic Transit-Oriented Development Site”, which now serves as an invaluable teaching tool for numerous MBA programs, offering real estate valuation concepts and insights into effective P3 solicitations.
For each project, Aaron brings together a strong blend of key elements; financial benefits, public spaces, infrastructure, attainable housing, appropriate scale, and art in public places. His wholistic approach has elevated the standards for deliverables in competitive RFP processes, leading to better projects and positive advancements throughout Southeast Florida’s public-private industry.
