How It Began

Building Legacies ... One Smart Decision at a Time

Amy Calandrino, the driving force behind Beyond Commercial, set out on a mission to reshape the commercial real estate experience for Orlando’s business owners. With a deep background in business and commercial real estate law, Amy saw firsthand how poor real estate decisions could devastate small businesses—whether through disruptive relocations, financial strain, or even bankruptcy. Time and again, she watched entrepreneurs make space decisions based on emotion rather than strategy, without the benefit of a savvy advocate to guide them through the complexities of leasing, buying, or investing.

Determined to change the game, Amy founded Beyond Commercial to bridge this knowledge gap. Her own family’s experiences underscored the long-term financial impact of uninformed real estate choices, reinforcing the need for better guidance. Beyond Commercial was built to provide business owners with critical ‘insider’ information, helping them make smart, sustainable decisions that fuel their long-term success.

But Amy’s vision extends beyond transactions. A pivotal realization came when she saw the true power of ownership over leasing—a shift that led her to acquire her first building in 2019. In 2022, she took an even bigger step, selling that building to acquire two properties in Orlando, where Beyond Commercial now thrives. Today, with both buildings fully leased, Amy and her family continue to expand their real estate portfolio—just as she helps others do the same.

At Beyond Commercial, we don’t just help business owners find space—we help them build wealth, stability, and a lasting legacy. As we continue to grow our team of entrepreneurial advisors, our commitment remains unwavering: equipping small business owners with the knowledge, strategy, and confidence to transition from tenants to investors, creating generational prosperity in Central Florida and beyond.
