In May 2002, 28-year-old Lissette Calderon broke onto the Miami real estate development scene with little more than her ambition and a daring vision. Since then, her firm Neology has become one of the city’s eminent residential landlords and a pioneer in the transformation of undervalued communities. Recently, Neology celebrated over 20 years in the business with a private bash at Casa Florida—an homage to the developer’s journey just steps from its first condo project, Neo Lofts, on the Miami River.
