Bio
Tony Cho is a social impact entrepreneur and the founder and chairman of Metro 1, a forward-thinking full service real estate investment, brokerage, management, and development firm, focused on shaping neighborhoods and developing sustainable cities in South Florida and beyond. Metro 1 Commercial, the award winning commercial brokerage, has completed over $2.8 billion in real estate transactions since 2005 and has been recognized every year since 2011 as one of the top 25 commercial real estate firms in the region by the South Florida Business Journal. Market-maker and pioneer of emerging neighborhoods including Wynwood, Little River, and Little Haiti, Cho was a founding member of the Wynwood Business Improvement District (BID) and championed the progressive rezoning of the area, which transformed blighted streets into a diverse, 24-hour, mixed-use arts and innovation district. Under his leadership, Metro 1 brought favorite local businesses— including Zak the Baker and Junior & Hatter— into the neighborhood, and, in 2012, developed the Wynwood Gateway Complex, one of the area’s most visible commercial developments. In 2011, Tony was awarded the prestigious young leader of the year by the Urban Land Institute and holds a CCIM designation. Cho is also the founder of the Magic City Innovation District Little Haiti, an 18-acre large-scale regenerative mixed use project located in one of Miami’s most vibrant cultural neighborhoods. Since 2000, Cho has been a long-standing advocate for the community of Little Haiti, and particularly small independent businesses.
