The apartment project brought city hall permits for the first four months of the year to $11.5 million – a 32 per cent increase over last year.
Permit values for April were $8.1 million compared with $6.75 million in 2023.
Dwellings led the construction parade with 33 units this year worth $7.58 million compared with two houses last year worth $590,000.
Major permits issued in May were $1.26 million for a retail complex at 1935 Stadacona Street West and $55,000 for Super Store at 30 Thatcher Drive East.
