4. Since 2001, Miami has been undergoing a large commercial building boom.
According to an article in NY Times “Real estate investors seem to be
flocking to Miami Beach, in hopes of capturing part of the market’s
resurgent tourism industry by acquiring, or by expanding their investments
in, the limited supply of hotel properties. Buoyed by an economic rebound
in tourism after the recession initially drove away some business,
competitive bidding has pushed prices for some hotel properties to record
highs. Venerable establishments along Miami Beach’s Art Deco district that
have undergone makeovers include the Royal Palm and the Ritz Plaza, and
a renovation is under way at the former Gansevoort. “
