Lincoln Square permit value jumps to $15.6M
Lincoln Square's permit value shot up 404% in October, hitting $15.6 million versus $3.1 million the month before. The count barely budged—45 permits versus 44—so a handful of big-ticket projects drove the spike. Express permits led volume at 26, followed by 14 renovations and 3 new construction jobs. No new businesses opened, none closed, and service request data wasn't in the pipeline this month.
