FROM THE LOOKS OF THE ECONOMY, MIAMI APPEARS TO BE AT THE EPICENTER … AND WE ARE LOOKING LONGINGLY TOWARD A HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED REAL ESTATE UPTURN. EMPLOYMENT AND JOBS (AND, IN MIAMI, “TOURISM”) ARE MAJOR CATALYSTS THAT CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE ECONOMY AND THE HOUSING MARKET.
APART FROM THE SHOT IN THE ARM LEBRON JAMES GAVE MIAMI BY JUST SIGNING TO COME TO MIAMI TO PLAY FOR THE MIAMI HEAT… MIAMI’S MILLER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AND THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI HAVE STEADILY BEEN PUSHING, PRODDING, AND INCHING MIAMI ALONG THE ROAD TO ECONOMIC UPTURN AND STABILITY.
UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI PRESIDENT, DONNA E. SHALALA,HAS HAD HER EYE ON UM BEING RANKED AMONG THE TOP TEN UNIVERSITIES IN THE NATION WITHIN A DECADE OF HER HEADING UP THE UNIVERSITY. OFFICIALLY NOW, THE UNIVERISITY IS LISTED AMONG THE TOP 50 … THE UNIVERISTY OF MIAMI IS RANKED 47TH NATIONWIDE… AND NUMBER 1 IN FLORIDA FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 2010-2011.
DESPITE A GENERALIZED HIRING SLOW-DOWN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI, UM HAS CONTINUED TO RECRUIT PROMINENT RESEARCH SCIENTISTS AND MEDICAL FACULTY FROM AROUND THE WORLD, WHICH IN TURN IMPACTS OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AND HOUSING MARKET.
UM JUST WELCOMED HUNDREDS OF NEWLY-HIRED FACULTY, SCIENTISTS, DEANS, MEDICAL RECRUITS AND THEIR FAMILIES … INVITING THEM TO THEIR ANNUAL INCOMING-FACULTY PICNIC AT SMATHER’S FOUR FILLIES FARM IN PINECREST.
IT STRUCK ME JUST HOW STRONG AN ECONOMIC INFLUENCE THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI AND THE MILLER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE ARE ON SOUTH FLORIDA. BOTH HAVE A DIRECT INFLUENCE AND POIGNANT IMPACT ON BOTH THE ECONOMY AND REAL ESTATE. IN TERMS OF JUST HOUSING ALONE, THE UNIVERSITY AND THE MILLER SCHOOL OF MEDICINE HAVE GIVEN MIAMI A SHOT IN THE ARM… RAISING THE UNIVERSITY TO THE LEVEL IT IS … WHICH BODES WELL FOR THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN SOUTH FLORIDA.
