West Town permit value drops 87% after August spike
West Town logged 119 permits worth $51 million in September, down sharply from August's $406 million. The difference: last month likely carried a major development filing that didn't repeat. Express permits led the count at 68, followed by 26 renovation jobs and 10 new construction filings. The neighborhood added seven elevator permits and five sign permits. Without the August outlier, September's volume looks routine for the area.
