City In Review: Chicago

Grand Boulevard · 2024-08

Grand Boulevard permit value jumps 78% on $11.5M total

Permit value in Grand Boulevard nearly doubled in August, hitting $11.5 million versus $6.4 million the month before. The 25 permits pulled leaned heavily on the express program—13 of them—with another five for renovations and four for new construction. Business licenses and service requests? Zero on both counts. A curiously quiet administrative month aside from the construction dollar spike.
