Note to Readers: At press time, Rob is on a well-deserved bucket list cruise to Antarctica, so his reg- ular downtown construction update will resume with the spring issue. One of his cus- tomers offered an interesting take on Rob’s trip: “Noted St Pete real estate mo- gul Rob Johnson is on his way to Antarctica this month to kick off the opening of his new housing devel- opment in the most remote part of the continent. ‘Things are getting awfully tough in the Florida market so I developed a new market in an area that has been neglected by less adventurous realtors and de- velopers’ said Johnson. The new project named “Cold A** Ice Flats” features air conditioned structures made of melt resistant permafrost building blocks that will range from 25 to 50 square feet. The igloo styled homes are be- ing built in antic- ipation of further global warming. Mr. Johnson said that the perma- frost construction will withstand 50 years of melting at current melt rates. Homes start at $1.5 M. and include 500 acre low maintenance sites - perfect for grazing up to 1000 assorted penguins.” The SIMMS Team is proud to again be a sponsor of the Downtown Business Association’s volunteer visitor experience program, The Sunshine Street Team!
