This figure is based primarily on local construction cost <br />and estimates in Indian River County and is also consistent with statewide trends. Finally, it <br />is almost the same unit value used in the 2005 study and approximately 5 percent lower <br />than that used in the 2007 study ($273 per square foot). <br />Tindale -Oliver & Associates, Inc.
