THE PRINCIPALS

Richard Breder, CSM, a pioneer in the commercial property industry, entered the field in 1956 and incorporated in 1964. Previously he was a general contractor specializing in retail construction. In 1958, Richard helped to establish the International Council of Shopping Centers, (ICSC), now with over 40,000 members, and was appointed the First State Director of Florida for the ICSC.

To heighten industry standards the ICSC created the professional designation of the Certified Shopping Center Manager (CSM). At its inception in 1964 Richard received the credit of being in the first twenty-five nationally and the first in Florida to earn this designation.

Additionally, Richard has conducted courses in real estate development at the University of Miami and the ICSC nationally. During his lengthy professional career he has developed, constructed, leased and managed over 10,000,00 square feet of income producing properties throughout Florida, and is routinely retained as an expert witness and consultant in the Industry.

John Breder, SCSM/CLS, holds both a Real Estate and Mortgage Brokers license and spearheaded the turn around of Lauderhill Mall in 1980.

Subsequently, John has been involved with two other enclosed regional malls and numerous strip centers and other income producing properties throughout the Southeast, including the highly successful expansion/renovation of Westchester Shopping Center in Dade County. He has written several articles for industry trade journals, including the Carlson and Andrews reports and the Florida Real Estate Journal. Similarly, he has been profiled by CBS News and featured nationally on the Wall Street Journal’s Sunday Report television.

John has served as the ICSC Dade County Program Committee Chairman (1992-1996) and is a member of the Florida Government Affairs Committee (1992-Present). In May 1994, John was appointed as the ICSC Operations Chairman for the State of Florida, a position he held until May, 1997. Subsequently, in May, 1997, John was appointed ICSC Southern Division Operations Chairman overseeing 13 States, Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands.

Additionally, John has instructed various subjects for the ICSC nationally and has been profiled by local civic organizations for his many contributions to the communities in which he is involved, including his present position at Councilman for the Village of Palmetto Bay, Florida.
