Thanx, Orlandonative.  Here's a tidbit of new info I just heard, The Blue Rose just sold 450 of 515 units released in its first week, which means this thing will be breaking ground soon, which will take it out of the proposed category and place it as a concrete development.

In fact, in 2002 Florida Hospital Orlando was the busiest emergency room in the country, along with Orlando Regional in 4th.  This area is no slouch with regards to the medical community.

Or it could mean that Orlando people are just more accident prone that most???         Just kidding guys..really just kidding dont' take it so seriously.

Yeah, I couldn't believe how long it took me to get a room when I went in for a hangnail.

How about W.Palm Beach.  Isn't Scripps moving a facility down there?  IMO this will get this somewhat stagnate economy into gear.

Also, what about St.Johns and Flagler counties?  Will be interesting to see if their growth continues.

I don't see any reason why they won't continue to grow. Florida in general is going to continue its positive growth trend.

True, but what I meant to say was grow at the current pace.

Orlando gets my vote as the city that will shine in 2006-2007.  The reason being the biggest change in atmosphere and lifestyle is occuring in Orlando.  Even though Miami has awesome growth and projects happening, Miami will still be Miami, Tampa will still be Tampa and Jax will still be Jax. Orlando is undergoing the biggest transformation,

Miami & Fort Lauderdale

Because they are gonna keep growing in a sleeker way.

in fort lauderdale, we already have the las olas river house
and Miami continues to be the city's ultra image.

We all know Miami is Florida's star city, but I think Orlando, and Tampa really is Florida's next big thing as far as metro's.

[JRS1]

Miami is FLA's numero uno;

As for which city will shine in 2006 the most?  I dnk.  

Miami has buku construction right now.  Ft. Lauderdale; WPB has some too.  Shoot, even Tampa by Channelside with all those projects.  So does Orlando.  Daytona Beach as well.  I haven't been to Jax lately to see what's up there, so I can't say.

I think all these cities will shine; some more than others.  Its a great testament to the state as a whole.
