The future of South Florida Real Estate to Undergo Strict Planning

The South Florida real estate boom has left many asking what’s left to build upon. Furthermore, the projected doubling of Southeast Florida’s population by 2060 would send new developments as far as the Everglades Agricultural Area in western Palm Beach County. This is expected to cause small towns along Lake Okeechobee such as Pahokee and Belle Glade to experience an explosive and problematic population boom.

Growth planning advocates emphasize that building apartments, condominiums and other large residential buildings in South Florida should be built in close proximity to public transit, specially in counties such as Dade and Broward where overcrowding may cause major traffic issues among other problems.

In some cities development is expected to take over agricultural land such as the case of western Palm Beach County. The incredible expansion would create a non-stopping urban strip stretching from West Palm Beach to Fort Myers.
