Ken Weissenberg: What's your favorite project looking back?

Armando Codina: You know they’re all like my children so it's hard to pick a children, but Downtown Doral is of such magnitude and it has so many components. I'm working with Ana every day, so it doesn't get any better than that. When you walk around there, if you walk with Ana into that school - Ana should tell you more about the school but the parents they kiss you and thank you say I never thought my kids could get this kind of an education.

You know when people in Downtown Doral told us when we have to visit our parents we got to go way far away to when are you going to do an adult component here. And now we are doing one on the retail. Downtown Doral. They’re all my babies, but our new headquarters we are building a rental tower and our offices. every time I would build a new building like I was a museum tower at my office over there and then at 355, then the Bacardi building was next door so we kept moving I told Ana this is our last move so bury me here in the courtyard.

AB: Until someone comes with a really good offering.

AC:Yeah, so anyway, that's it.
