They swear it will be finished this year, which they've said before, but there is actually construction currently ongoing at the site, which is a good sign, I suppose. I live north of Orlando, so I have to drive by it anytime I head that way.
As for building codes, I'm not sure. I just moved back down to central Fl after living in Gainesville the past 20 years. I do know that 30 years of living in Florida has taught me to never buy a mobile home. Hurricanes flatten those. I feel bad for the folks that don't have the ability to afford something more sturdy.
There's a lot of new construction in the next neighborhood over from mine (old golf course turned housing development), but I'm not sure if they're stick-frame houses or concrete. It's also an upscale development, not lower-middle-class.
