Architects agree: Market remains primed for growth

A survey of architects and architecture firm principals viewed as a bellwether for economic development prospects indicates the Tampa Bay region will continue to enjoy a high level of real estate construction activity well into 2020 and 2021.

The 120 respondents to the survey, conducted by the Tampa Bay chapter of the American Institute of Architects and unveiled last week at a panel discussion in Tampa, say their firms have experienced zero slowdown in demand and are planning to hire more employees. Many also predict significant revenue growth.
