Irma, which forced the evacuation of 5.6 million people before making landfall, continued to threaten Florida on Monday morning with strong winds and flooding. South Florida has seen a construction boom over more than two decades since its last widespread disaster, Hurricane Andrew, reduced 25,500 homes to rubble in 1992. After Andrew, state legislators carved out building codes that required an increase in the amount of wind pressure homes could withstand, stronger roof fasteners, and impact-resistant windows, among other requirements. But Irma is putting those codes to the toughest test yet. Florida’s population has more than doubled to 20.6 million since then, and more than 2.7 million homes along the state’s 1,350 miles of coastline are at risk of hurricane damage, according to real estate data firm CoreLogic. Between 2003 and 2010, developers added 246 towers along the coast, adding more than 49,000 condo and apartment units to inventory in the state. Since 2011, 144 towers have been completed, adding an additional 10,552 units, according to Peter Zalewski, founder of Florida-based real estate consulting firm Cranespotters. “We are foundation resistant,’CEO and “South Florida will be a laboratory for the new building codes.” – Peter Zalewski, founder of Florida-based real estate consulting firm Cranespotters
