Inspired by New York City's Central Park, Neal Communities announces their new residential village in Lakewood Ranch, fittingly named CENTRAL PARK!

The 372 acres north of SR70, and east of Lakewood Ranch Blvd in Manatee County, FL will be the site for over 800 homes and more than 150,000 sq ft of commercial office space.

The village will be a seamless extension of the existing master planned community, Lakewood Ranch, and have similar features as the already popular Greenbrook Village.

Central Park will offer something for everyone with five separate neighborhoods all inspired by areas within New York City's Central Park, 29 different floor plans, and 7 builders to choose from. The neighborhoods planned are:

• Great Lawn
• East Meadow
• Cedar Hill
• East Garden
• Conservatory Garden

The five new neighborhoods will be centered around a vibrant park, modeled after Central Park with:

• 2 picnic areas
• Covered pavilion
• Sports field (baseball and soccer)
• Amphitheater framed by shaded walkways
• Fountain
• Lush medians
• Meandering walkways
• Shade tress
• Benches and streetlights

Prices for the homes will vary. Pat Neal stated, "...our goal is to make them affordable for two Manatee County School teachers."

Central Park will be conveniently located near Lakewood Ranch High School & Manatee Technical Institute, making it a great place for not only retirees and investors, but families too! A new elementary school/middle school combo is planned for the community as well.

All new construction homes will meet FLORIDA GREEN BUILDING standards. Lots are projected to be available by July 2010.

For more information on Neal Communities, Central Park or other New Construction Homes available in East Manatee County, Lakewood Ranch or the Bradenton area, contact The Burish and Serena Team.

We will be following the progress of this development closely, so stay tuned for more information on Central Park!

The government reported our first quarter of positive economic growth last week, indicating the recovery has begun. Yet investors kept the Dow moving up and down over 100 points four out of the five days, ending the week with a startling 249-point drop. Was this a bull market correction, or the return to a bear market? Who knows? The only thing certain is that investors aren't quite sure the economy is back on track.

Makes you wonder what it will take to convince them. The initial estimate for Q3 real GDP revealed the economy growing at a 3.5% annual rate -- way better than expected and the first rise in GDP in over a year. Happily, most of the advance was driven by consumption. Q3 GDP also showed home building UP at a 23.3% annual rate, its fastest rise since the '80's. Plus, Q3 corporate earnings reported so far show over 80% of the companies beating estimates, the highest rate in history.

On the jobs front, Initial Unemployment Claims dropped and the 4-week moving average hit a new low in the recovery of 526,000. Continuing Claims fell to 5.8 million. Positive news also included Durable Goods Orders UP for September, their fourth boost in six months. Most impressive of all, the Chicago PMI measuring Midwest manufacturing, shot up to its highest level in over a year. And the Richmond Fed index for Mid-Atlantic manufacturing logged its sixth straight month in expansion territory. All are favorable signs for U.S. manufacturing.
