“By being involved with something like ICSC, you’re not just increasing visibility for your company, you’re also positioning yourself as a leader in the broader industry conversation. It is about having a seat at the table with others across the nation and playing a key role in shaping the direction of commercial development, especially within your state. The networking and relationship-building you’re doing are huge assets, as well as the opportunity to share insights and stay on top of industry trends,” Tomala stated.

“Your company’s involvement with that kind of platform amplifies your presence, both in Florida and beyond, since ICSC is so influential in commercial real estate and retail development. And our company’s expertise in architecture and engineering, especially in the development side, fits perfectly into that larger conversation. You are extending the company’s footprint in ways that benefit both brand visibility and credibility across the industry,” he added.

Tomala was quick to express his excitement for his new role, especially given the connection to Cuhaci Peterson’s former co-founder, and respected ICSC member of many years, the late Lonnie Peterson. “It’s a wonderful opportunity that’s near and dear to my heart, but it’s also kind of carrying on the lineage of Lonnie Peterson, my mentor, and his belief and involvement with ICSC,” Tomala furthered.
