With a commercial real estate career spanning more than 30 years, Tangalakis’s reputation precedes him. His countless successes and contributions to NAIOP South Florida, the community and the greater commercial real estate industry warrant the same distinction awarded to Edmund Ansin, Armando Codina, Doug Eagon, Alice Jackson and Terry Stiles among others.
