I believe the market will see close to one million square feet of spec suburban office space under construction by year-end 2006 as tenant demand continues to increase.

This will be our campaign office this campaign cycle.

Each side will have about same amount of retail and office space.

Very shortly we anticipate a big announcement...residential, commercial, office space that will encompass several hundred acres east of I-90. We're very excited about it.

Demand for office space will be strong, and there will be minimal new construction. While several new office buildings are being planned, few will be completed by the end of 2006.

If we have some heavy rains this season, as we did a few years ago, there will be some major problems. With the scheduled delays in building the Fort Hamer Bridge, Manatee County continues to get further and further behind in caring for the needs of the residents of this area.
