April 7, 2012: It's a buyers' market for real estate with rentals occupancies expected to be near-peak. In late-2013, prices are expected to hit bottom. In late-2016, excess housing will deplete and real estate prices will than rise - yielding even higher rates of return.

Sarasota - Van Wezel
Image by roger4336
The Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, to give its official name, from Sarasota Bay near the John Ringling Bridge. Van Wezel was built in 1968-1969, and was opened in 1970. It recently had a major renovation.
Van Wezel is the largest auditorium in Sarasota, with 1,700 seats. It has the major concerts of Sarasota Orchestra (formerly Florida West Coast Symphony), and has a series of concerts, shows, and other entertainment events.
Van Wezel was built by the City of Sarasota, with a grant from a foundation established by Lewis Van Wezel, who was in the diamond business and later in Sarasota real estate. I have heard that one condition of the grant was that the signature purple color be maintained in the hall.
