Research Shows Minto West Development Economic Impact of $1.3 Billion During Construction; $392 Million Recurring Impact to Area

Loxahatchee, FL (PRWEB) February 01, 2014

Just released independent research and analysis of the proposed Minto West development in western Palm Beach County estimates an economic impact of $ 1.3 billion during the construction period of the master-planned community as well as a $ 392 million recurring annual impact on the economy.

Key findings of the research, conducted by John Burns Real Estate Consulting in January 2014, also estimate the creation of 840 jobs during the construction and development of the property and 3,101 post-construction long-term jobs added to the Palm Beach County economy.

This report confirms what our preliminary research indicated, said Mike Belmont, president, Minto Florida. Minto West will create much needed jobs, substantial economic opportunities and provide additional housing options for the residents of the western communities.

Mintos vision for the 3,800 acre Minto West property is to design a sustainable community while complementing the surrounding environment. Development rights for the property already include land use approval to build 2,996 residences and 235,000 square feet of commercial and retail. Proposed development plans to be considered by the Palm Beach County Commission later this year include additional residential, recreation facilities, a Town Center, office, retail, a hotel and a spring training baseball complex. Build out of Minto West is expected to take 20 to 25 years.

Compatibility with the surrounding community is as important as the economic benefit, said John Carter, vice president, Minto Florida. Minto West will assist in regional drainage issues, address roadway deficiencies by paying more than $ 50 million in road impact fees and restore more than 1,400 acres back to natural habitat in the form of perimeter buffers, lakes and parks.
