At the end of 2017, the City of Prince George had issued 34 building permits with an estimated value of $3.3 million.
As of March of this year, city council had already approved 52 permits with an estimated value of $14.1 million. A report to council noted that the majority of the approved permits, 37 in total, were for single-family houses.
Coun. Garth Frizzell noted the numbers were a positive sign for the local real estate industry. “It continues to look good, even though we aren’t really in the building season,” Frizzell said.
According to the report, the highest-value permit this year was for a $3 million show lounge at the Treasure Cove Casino.
