Southeast City Scoop: Construction Starts in Miami
Becky Hachenburg Vice President, Southeast Region Stantec
“Despite a slower-than-expected start to construction in South Florida when compared to 2016, there isn’t a shortage of work,” says Hachenburg. Non-residential construction is up while residential is down, she adds. “Although condo sales have slowed, Miami Beach has been one of the more resilient markets, with a large proportion of investment coming from outside the U.S.” Noting “significant development” in downtown districts, Hachenburg sees “a lot of excitement for the new Brightline train,” set to begin service this summer.
