Bradley K. Forté is the aspiring, third generation leader of a South Florida family-run development and real estate company that has helped shape the region's business landscape.
"Brad" Forté is the son of John Forté, who arrived in Miami with his father and patriarch, Michael, in 1964. John Forté went on to build Forté Towers, a 1,200-unit apartment development that injected new life and much-needed housing into South Beach. Realizing new residents' need for simple retail amenities, John Forté built Forté Market on the Beach, a South Beach grocery store that served the city's needs for years to come.
It was there that Brad got his start in the family business. At 12 years old, Brad began working as a bagboy and shelf stocker – and taking his first steps into the business world.
Over the next decade, Brad was assigned to various learning enhancing positions including Forté Towers and Madison Circle, the family's 130,000-square-foot commercial office building at 3191 Coral Way in Coral Gables. He handled basic maintenance and learned as the management oversaw commercial building operations and tenant relations.
