No other significant new construction residential, mixed-use, or commercial projects were identified in Cortez, Florida proper that meet the criteria of being announced, under construction, or recently completed (last 3 years). Nearby developments (e.g., in Bradenton along Cortez Road) exist but fall outside the city limits. Infrastructure projects like the Cortez Bridge replacement (under construction starting ~September 2026) are not residential/commercial developments.
