Building permit values in Red Deer are off to a strong start this year thanks to some large projects getting underway.

The city issued $60.6 million in building permits last month, which is up from $20.5 million in January 2019. That’s despite only 56 permits being issued last month compared to 87 the previous January.

In December 2019, 67 permits were issued totaling $4.2 million.

Notable permits for the month of January include $26.4 million for construction of a six-storey addition to Points West Living phase 2 at 6960 Taylor Drive, $22.8 million for a 90-unit assisted living facility at 4736 30 street and a permit to construct an industrial building at 6430 Golden West Avenue, valued at $3 million.
