Monthly Note
June's activity was heavily concentrated in the final week (June 22–28), which alone accounted for $166.1M — 75% of the month's total value. Two projects drove the spike: a new elementary school foundation at 3757 Stewart Ave ($54.6M) and a three-building, 176-unit apartment complex on Reardon Blvd ($71.4M combined). Together they made up 57% of June's value. Excluding both, remaining activity totalled ~$95.7M across 340 permits — still a solid month. June at a GlanceFull permit breakdown
