David Puyanic, Vice President
I graduated with high honors from the University of Texas at Austin in 2002 with a degree in Business Administration and a minor in History. I continued my education by gaining acceptance and attending The McComb School of Business where I earned a Masters in Professional Accounting. I graduated from this program in 2003 with a 3.93 GPA. The MPA program at the McComb School of Business has been ranked the #1 accounting program in the country by US News and World Reports for the past several years.

During my sophomore and junior years at The University of Texas at Austin, I worked as a leasing and sales agent at a local real estate company. I was the #1 real estate associate at the company and completed over 60 leasing deals and 4 purchase/sale transactions during my 2 year tenure. In my senior year, I started a real-estate development company that built high-end student housing near campus. I assembled investors, purchased vacant land, managed a development team of architects and engineers, oversaw the construction, and operated and leased my projects. The developments were all very successful and I completed multiple projects before selling the portfolio and moving back to Miami to join Commodore Realty, Inc.

I joined Commodore Realty, Inc in 2003 as Vice President and have had the honor of spending the last four years learning the commercial real estate industry from my father Max D. Puyanic , who is a wonderful teacher and father. I currently run the Accounting department and the Property Management department, which includes all construction and development projects. In addition, I work on all acquisitions. I am proud of the changes that Commodore Realty and all of our properties have under gone over the past several years which include improved operations, an improved tenant base, significantly higher rents, and a higher level of excellence and attention to detail. My most recent accomplishment is the façade remodel of the Sarasota Commons Shopping Center, which transformed the property into the premier retail center in its trade area. I encourage you to visit the property page for the Sarasota Commons for more information on the remodel. My goal is to continue to work diligently to improve the lives of our investors, our tenants, our patrons, our purveyors, and our quality staff. In addition, I will work to find quality assets to acquire so that we may double the size of our portfolio over the next five years.

During my free time I enjoy all activities related to the ocean, spending time with family and friends, and traveling. I am fortunate to have visited more than twenty-five countries in my life and can't wait to experience the many more adventures that will come.
