Luis Prats

"There is a growth trend in infrastructure, especially in the energy and transportation sectors, though movement in these areas is unlikely until after the 2012 presidential election. While South Florida is booming with foreign investments and big projects are on the horizon, today's billion-dollar-plus construction projects are in China, the Middle East, and South America, particularly in Brazil. Clients are building or expanding their manufacturing facilities offshore to take advantage of cheap labor and favorable regulatory climates. With the housing market's collapse and tightened lending, renting has become increasingly attractive, resulting in an uptick in new apartment project construction."
