Hyde Park permit value rockets to $286 million

Hyde Park's October permit value hit $286 million, up from $5.4 million the month before—a jump driven by large-scale construction filings. The neighborhood logged 22 permits, down from 36 in September. Fourteen came through the express program, four covered renovations, and two were for new construction. No new businesses opened and no existing ones closed. The month was otherwise quiet.
