November building permits issued in Kamloops climbing towards record construction values – CFJC Today Kamloops

There were four single family dwelling permits issued in November, valued at $1,715,000, compared to last Novembers 11 permits issued, totaling $5,366,455 in value.

Despite less single family homes being built and more apartment style units going up, Dixon says its another really strong year for construction all around.

Weve had some projects this year the redevelopment at Aberdeen Mall- we still have some permits there that are being processed, so there is a lot of commercial activity there. And the hospital project is still ongoing, so thats more institutional but well see more activity there in the coming year for sure.

So far this year, building permits taken out are valued at $271,715,708.

Dixon says should another $15-16 million worth of permits be issued in December, that could mean another record year for City of Kamloops construction permit values.

Ive been saying all along that I didnt think we were going to set another record, three years in a row seemed a bit much, but were getting awfully close to that, he says, So I might have to be surprised in a month if we actually break the record.
