The South Atlantic Region seems to have a perfect storm of economic drivers that should continue to power the area’s economy for years to come. Five of the region’s largest cities —Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Charlotte and Raleigh — added a combined 287,000 residents in 2012-2013, sparking big-time growth in single-family and multi-family construction. Washington, D.C., is one of the U.S.’s five largest multi-family construction markets this year, and Miami has already added close to 7,000 multi-family permits through August. Port cities along the Eastern Seaboard including Baltimore, Charleston, S.C., Jacksonville, Fla., and Miami, are investing billions of dollars to bulk up their infrastructure so they can handle the latest generation of container ships.
