In fourth place was Washington, D.C., with $4.6 billion in starts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Topping the list of Houston-area projects to break ground during early 2013 are the $72 million MD Anderson Pavilion and the $45 million Hanover Post Oak multi-family high-rise. Those projects are also characteristic of the healthcare and multi-family sectors that are driving much of the development in Houston. By contrast, development in second-place Dallas tends to focus on business operations and infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>A leading indicator of economic activity, construction starts consist of the full value of single-family home construction, multi-family, office, retail space, warehouses, healthcare facilities, educational buildings, manufacturing plants and research facilities. Land values and land acquisition costs are not included.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Image via Wikimedia Commons user <a href=\"https:\/\/flickr.com\/people\/eflon\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">eflon<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent Forbes ranking of metro areas where construction is booming, Houston landed an honorary third place, with only New York and Dallas scoring higher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39,"featured_media":1004507373,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1589,21742],"tags":[39438,1815],"class_list":["post-1004078104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-houston","category-latest","tag-houston","tag-national"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
