Blue Roc Premier Properties Earns CEO of the Year Award

Randy X. Ferreira Honored as the Southeast Real Estate CEO of the Year by the Global CEO Excellence Awards 2023

LAKELAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Randy X. Ferreira, CEO of the Lakeland-based commercial real estate firm Blue Roc Premier Properties, has received the distinction of Real Estate CEO of the Year 2023 of the Southeast by the Global CEO Excellence Awards.

Ferreira's recognition stems from a three-decade-long journey in real estate, which began with an entry-level position as a leasing agent. He has since built Blue Roc Premier Properties into a $2 billion multifamily real estate management firm. Learning the business from the bottom up helped shape Ferreira’s highly principled leadership style.

“First and foremost, I've learned that real estate isn't just about properties; it's about people,” said Randy X. Ferreira, CEO of Blue Roc Premier Properties. “Everything we do is grounded in our commitment to our residents, our team, and our community. In the ever-evolving landscape of real estate, our North Star has remained constant: doing right by our people.”

Ferreira leads with integrity and is guided by his faith and strong family values. His son and son-in-law are both members of the company’s executive leadership team and reflect Ferreira’s vision and commitment to position the company to grow and thrive for generations to come. Weathering market shifts is core to the company’s longevity and stable reputation.

“This is the beginning of the softness in our markets and an opportunity to demonstrate the soundness of our data-driven strategic mindset,” said Ferriera. “Our back-to-basics techniques have proven successful when the markets and industry had a downturn in the 2007 era. Now that we are approaching another market hiccup, our company and people will rise to the occasion once again.”

The Global CEO Excellence Awards are dedicated to acknowledging the hard work, dedication, and leadership of chief executives across a diverse range of industries. Awardees are chosen based on their ability to innovate, financial performance, business growth, personal commitment, and the strategic vision they impart to their teams and organizations.
