The expanded portion of Kraft's building at 710 N. Mattis Ave is seen in Champaign on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2014.
Last year proved a strong one for construction in the Champaign-Urbana area, with the two cities issuing building permits for $170 million of work.
That was a 12 percent bump-up from 2012, when the two cities gave the go-ahead to $152 million in projects.
Champaign had the lion's share of the work last year, with $140 million in projects, compared with Urbana's $30 million.
Champaign's figures were boosted by two immense jobs the $22.4 million Hyatt Place hotel at Church and Neil streets downtown and the $16.6 million warehouse for Kraft Foods Group on North Mattis Avenue.
In 2012, the city issued permits for $114 million worth of work.
Urbana's totals for 2013 were lower than those of 2012, when the city had $38 million in projects. Last year's projects included a lot of commercial remodeling, said John Schneider, the city's building safety division manager.
Already, 2014 is shaping up as a promising year for construction.
Larry Happ, building safety supervisor for the Champaign Fire Department, said he can foresee $125 million in construction in 2014, just from five projects in the works. Those include:

Building momentum
When the housing industry collapsed six years ago, that implosion slammed the door hard on what had been a vigorous multifamily construction development business in the South Sound and across the country.
In Tacoma, Auburn, Kent and other cities, construction halted abruptly midproject.
But now, little by little, that door to multifamily development is reopening. The projects, predominantly condominiums before the recession hit, have in most cases been recast as apartments, and developers and the banks that are backing them are moving forward. Their commitment this time is more cautious because they remain concerned that the hollow construction boom could be re-created.
In Tacoma alone, nearly 800 new apartment units are near groundbreaking with as many as 1,200 more in the planning stages. In Auburn, two projects are moving forward on vacant land near that citys commuter rail station. And in downtown Kent, a mixed-use development under construction has reached the fifth floor near that citys station.
Most of the planned projects will have retail components on their first floors. At Point Ruston, one mixed-use structure will be built over a multiscreen theater. On the Foss Waterway, the first floor of The Henry apartments will include retail and restaurant space.
In many cases, new projects are being built or planned on the rubble of projects that failed during the recession.
Many of those sites still sport their basic appeal despite the fact that the original projects were stillborn half a decade ago.
DEMAND, MONEY FLOWING
Whats behind the resurrection of residential construction?
Developers have several answers.

Construction continued in December on a new building for JAMF Software.
CHIPPEWA FALLS New home construction was up in Chippewa Falls in 2013, with a noticeable increase in single-family and multi-family dwellings. Altogether, 29 new houses, duplexes or apartment complexes were constructed in the city.
City building inspector Paul Lasiewicz released his annual report last week, which shows the city issued permits for 13 new multi-family dwellings in 2013, including two 12-unit complexes and five eight-unit complexes.
In comparison, there were no multi-family complexes constructed in the city in 2011 and eight were built in 2012.
Additionally, 10 new single-family homes were constructed in the city in 2013, at a combined cost of $1.35 million. That total also is up from recent years, when there were only four single-family homes built in 2011 and six new homes constructed in 2012.
Six duplexes were built in 2013, up from two in 2012 and none in 2011.
The total permits issued were relatively flat, increasing just two, from 302 permits in 2012 to 304 last year. However, the building permit fees collected by the city jumped from $78,859 in 2012 to $91,996.
The total revenue collected by the city inspectors office including building, electrical, heating and plumbing permits jumped from $128,069 in 2012 to $146,198.

Quartz is becoming a bigger ingredient in kitchen design, even if the flavor doesn't agree with everyone.
Julie Moore from Bridgeville's ProSource outlet reports dealing with quartz countertops for kitchen projects 75 percent of the time. Meanwhile, Liz Krohe from Copperleaf Kitchen & Bath Design in Wexford says 80 percent of her customers stay away from quartz.
Quartz has a lot going for it, she says, but granite still is the one.
Enthusiasts and those less convinced all agree quartz has benefits that are hard to rival in a kitchen project: It is harder than granite in a hardness rating known as the MOH scale; it is non-porous, which means it doesn't stain; it is easy to clean and impervious to germ growth; and its colors are predictable and consistent because it is engineered from crystals rather than originating in a slab.
People don't like having to seal their countertops, Julie Metz says, referring to the yearly maintenance granite requires. She is a countertop staffer at Plumbers Equipment, a supply and design firm with locations in Plum, Ross, Greensburg and Castle Shannon.
She says that ease combines with durability that can stand temperatures up to 550 degrees to make quartz attractive in hot-pot-filled kitchen jobs.
Twenty to 30 percent of customers are inquiring about quartz as a possibility initially, she says, and there has been about a 10 percent increase in clients deciding on it.
The biggest drawback, Metz says, is price. Quartz typically sells for a steady $70 a square foot, regardless of color or design, she says, while granite can be bought for about $30 a square foot.
Of course, she adds, that price can go well over $100 a square foot for better slabs of granite, but the lesser pieces are attractive to homeowners or builders on a budget.
