The Power 100 list, published annually, honors 100 of the most influential people, businesses, and firms driving change and innovation within the commercial real estate industry. This year’s honorees were selected for their resilience in the face of another uncertain economic cycle, recognizing their determination and fortitude as power players in the industry despite turbulent market conditions.

Florance’s inclusion on the list is a nod to the explosive growth that CoStar Group experienced in 2023, reaching $2.46 billion in revenue last year and employing over 6,200 dedicated team members across 14 different countries.
