St. Johns County led the way in 2014 growth for new building permits.   The Northeast Florida Builders Association (NEFBA) recently reported that the number of building permits pulled in 2014 was the highest since 2007.  
  The strongest area for new building permits was South to St. Johns County, reflecting the heavy push to Durbin, Nocatee, Bartram and World Golf Village.
  Clearly, it's Nocatee that can take a lot of the credit, named the third best-selling master-planned community in the U.S in 2014.
