Joseph Hawlik

United States

Vivianne Swietelsky and Joseph Hawlik form a partnership for informed and insightful real estate investment in South Florida, ideally suited for the evolving Miami real estate market. Following the adoption of Miami21 in 2010, a land use and urban planning initiative designed to balance neighborhoods, the focus of real estate investment and development in Miami has transitioned to lifestyle applications involving mixed-use, transit-oriented development and urban infill. An alliance of both residential and commercial practices, Ms. Swietelsky and Mr. Hawlik have taken advantage of their respective contacts and sources to assemble a team of well-connected local professionals and consultants that directly address aspects such as: • Recent and future upzoning of property • Potential re-purposing of property that takes advantage of unactivated value • Transportation corridors targeted for expansion and likely re-development • Immigration employment programs such as EB-5 and L-1 What sets the Swietelsky-Hawlik alliance apart is its ability to quickly understand the impact of these aspects on the near-term and long-term value of property, to identify opportunity, and secure availability of what is often off-market properties. Along those lines, another element of the alliance is their direct access to ownership of several hotels in South Florida, creating potential for off-market acquisition of high-profile hotel properties in a confidential manner. Both Ms. Swietelsky, current President, and Mr. Hawlik, President-elect in 2019 for the Miami Council of FIABCI, are very comfortable in the international setting and are very cognizant of Miami’s advantageous role as a gateway for foreign investors into the United States. A speaker of five languages, Ms. Swietelsky is highly capable of communicating the complexity of international investment into emerging local US-based markets, and bringing potential US-based investors into foreign markets. A marketing strategy consultant in the worldwide pharmaceutical industry for several years, Mr. Hawlik brings an analytical approach to real estate investment and an affinity for market entry strategies in both domestic and foreign settings.
