While the Washington, D.C.-Baltimore, Md.-Northern Virginia metroplex is having a recession like everyone else, you wouldn't know it from some of the massive construction projects underway.

Large projects outside of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area include a 500,000-square-foot data center being built by Apple in Maiden, N.C., and a $159.6 million hospital job in Orlando. One word sums up the Florida housing market: ugly.
