2024-12
Logan Square permits drop 27%, total value halves
Logan Square issued 54 permits in December, down from 74 the month before. The total value fell even harder—$10.3 million versus November's $21.3 million, a 52% drop. Express permits led the way with 22, followed by 20 renovation-or-alteration jobs. No new businesses opened or closed in the data. Whether this is a holiday slowdown or something else isn't clear from the numbers.
2025-12
Logan Square permit value drops 77% to $3.7M
Permit volume in Logan Square fell 22% in December, but the real story is the dollar figure—$3.7 million, down from nearly $16 million the month before. More than half the permits (23 of 45) were express program jobs, typically smaller-scale work. Ten renovation permits and six sign permits rounded out the activity. No new business licenses showed up in the data, and three new construction permits hint at something underway but didn't move the needle much on total value.
