Over the past 20 years, Gainesville has matured from a ‘College Town’ to a ‘University City.’ This ongoing maturation process leads toward Gainesville’s inevitable future as a regional leader in medicine, technology, and innovation. Our community’s development patterns are maturing as well. We are seeing higher quality developments focused on enhancing the community fabric in and around the university. This trend will continue and be a demand driver for supportive developments outside of the City’s core. As the housing market continues to rebound, look for substantial retail developments and a more sophisticated office market to help define Gainesville as a serious player in Florida and the southeastern region’s economy.”
