San Francisco has remained a 49 square miles, densely populated hotbed of financial, technological and creative industries for over a century. The limited space combined with San Fran’s growing international reputation as the centre for new-age technology in Silicon Valley, has caused commercial real estate valuations to soar in recent years. The high price of real estate and growing demand for office space has meant further limitations to the creativity of urban designers and architects. With large-scale infrastructure development projects few and far between, these multi-billion dollar construction initiatives will undoubtedly change the face of the city. Check out the revolutionary projects set to augment San Francisco by 2035 below. 

Downtown Tampa has continued to capitalise on its existing reputation as an important urban centre; home to high-calibre residential, commercial and recreational real estate. The Mayor’s office is keen to develop this area further, expanding in time into the suburban, satellite neighbourhoods.

Orlando is full of great activities in and around the city, such as theme parks, lakes and nightlife, that make the city irresistible to the millions of tourists that make it a destination year after year.

Portland has the most breweries per capita than any other city in the world. With 84 breweries in the metro area, Portland has one brewery for every 8000 people, or enough for a large Friday night lock-in. Portland, or the Rose City as it is often called, has produced world class beer ever since the demise of the Bridgeport and Widmer breweries, after which fledgling breweries seeded, garnering more local success year after year. With so many breweries to choose from, the beer scene can feel daunting to know where to start or what you want to try. Check out our guide below to the top 5 breweries and what makes them special. 

San Francisco’s devious history during the Gold Rush gave rise to areas of the city that catered to the vices of incoming gold-hungry upstarts. In the present day, however, areas like the Barbary District are no longer filled with ruffians, drunkards and bar fighters; rather, they have been replaced with the affluent, modern establishments, situated on a rooftop or in a converted historical building, the watering-holes of the city’s metropolitan elite surrounded in beautiful settings. The abundance of great bars, run by talented bartenders makes for a pretty special night on the town. Check out our list below of the best bars in the city and what makes them so special.
