Permit values continue steady increase

September 2, 2010

(Red Deer, Alberta) – Residential permit values continue to rise showing an increase of 6.3 per cent, as compared to August 2009. Contributing to this increase was a permit issued to J2K Inc. for the construction of an apartment building at 3715 – 51 Avenue, at a construction value of $1.3 million.

While commercial permit values show a decrease over August, industrial permit values are up $8 million for the year to date, due significantly to a permit issued to Camdon Construction for an addition to Quinn’s Pumps at 4080 – 77 Street, valued at $6.9 million. Other contributing industrial permits were to Phoenix Construction for an addition to the sandblasting shop for Badger Daylighting at 6740 – 65 Avenue valued at $405,000 and to CSI Projects Ltd. for office space for Parkland Geo at 4756 Riverside Drive valued at $400,000.

Monthly permit statistics will be posted on The City’s website at www.reddeer.ca/inspections.
