PCL建筑服务部副总裁兼地区经理Rick Goldman说，佛罗里达州中部有望“比过去五年来的工作要多。”值得注意的是，高盛即使大奥兰多地区的两个长期基础设施大型投资（I-4 Ultimate和Orlando International Airport的南航站楼）也开始了。18luck官网除了多户住宅和一般商业领域的力量外，过去几个月中旅游业返回流行前水平，这意味着“过去两到三年一直处于计划阶段的所有度假胜地和酒店产品准备断裂，”高盛说。
Headlining the region’s signature tourism sector is Universal’s Epic Universe, a 750-acre theme park now scheduled to open in 2025. Nearly doubling Universal’s footprint in the Orlando area, the project is expected to spur a wide range of ancillary development, including a new hotel already permitted for an adjacent parcel.

Other hospitality sector projects include the $175-million, 433-room Conrad Orlando Hilton luxury hotel, which PCL is building for Dart Interests at the Evermore Orlando Resort. In February, BANCA USA and Banesco USA secured financing for a 143-room luxury Hyatt Place hotel at Orlando Melbourne International Airport. The development is slated to open early next year.
Goldman notes that the area also stands to benefit from Florida’s efforts to lure corporate operations to the state. Last summer, Disney announced plans to relocate 2,000 corporate and enterprise jobs from Southern California to a new campus at Lake Nona. “That will have a big effect on housing and other sectors,” he says. “Hopefully, other companies will take notice.”
基础设施也是该地区建筑组合的一部分，佛罗里达州的运输部在21英里长的I-4 Ultimate走廊的两端都开设了一系列开放式能力增强项目。18luck官网该计划被称为“超越最终”，该计划于去年始于三次互换重建，以分辨钻石配置。其他项目将包18luck官网括重建I-4的通用车道以及托管车道的扩展。
A rebound in air travel has also enabled Orlando International Airport to restore previously deferred portions of the South Terminal C project, including completion of a pedestrian bridge connection between the terminal and its ground transportation facility.

To date, no plans have been announced to revive another pandemic casualty—a $605-million expansion to the Orange County Convention Center that was halted in the planning stage in August 2020 due to both depressed tourism tax revenue and concerns about the project’s significant price tag.
Clouding this otherwise sunny construction forecast, Goldman says, are familiar challenges such as labor availability for both salaried and hourly workers and the uncertainties of inflation and escalating material costs.
Additionally, he worries that as much as 40% of the projects PCL currently has in the preconstruction phase could be delayed.
“From a backlog standpoint, everyone is in a pretty good spot,” he says. “It’s the 12- to 36-month outlook—what are things going to be like?”
