Building permits for $88.4 million worth of work were taken out at city hall over 2015, according to a year-end report.
That's well down from $125.7 million over 2014.
It's also the lowest total reached since 2009, when total value was $67.7 million.
At $32 million over 111 permits, work on new single-family homes led the way last year, followed by commercial alterations at $20.4 million over 90 permits.
In 2014, permits for 126 new single-family homes were issued, worth $35.2 million.
Work on new commercial projects was the biggest difference between 2015 and 2014.
Last year, six permits for just $6.5 million worth of work in that category were taken out, well down from 10 permits for $28.8 million on 2014.
Significant permits for 2015 include one for $3 million worth of work to the new Lowe's at Pine Centre Mall, taken out in December.
By far the largest project was the Magnolia
Garden on the Park condominium complex at
2055 Ingledew St. on the edge of Fort George Park.
In May, a permit was taken out to add 42 units, worth a total of $8 million, to the complex.
The next largest is the new cross-dock warehouse near the north end of the runway at Prince George Airport.
The value of that work has been set at $4 million, according to the report, although the Prince George Airport Authority has said the final cost will be
$5.5 million for the 25,000-square-foot facility.
The values assigned to building permits are for the cost of the structure and do not include the cost of the mechanical equipment.
Other major projects include the Prince George Native Friendship Centre's Ketso Yoh youth shelter at 140 Quebec St., worth $3.6 million, repairs worth $2.5 million to the Latitude apartment building at 3172 Westwood Dr., where a fire ripped through a section of the 32-unit building a year-and-a-half ago, and tenant improvements worth $2.3 million at the Wood Innovation and Design Centre located on George Street downtown.
