Ottawa – Ottawa’s new housing and construction project activity rose higher in 2013, according to the City of Ottawa Building Code Services report.

The report, which will be presented to the next Planning Committee on April 8, shows the City received $2.4 billion worth of construction applications in 2013, which is $400 million or 20 per cent more than the $2 billion recorded in the previous year.

“These figures are key indicators that Ottawa’s economy is moving along at a strong pace,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “This was helped by some major construction projects, including the Rideau Centre and Bayshore Shopping Centre expansions, Lansdowne Park and Tanger Outlets development.”

“We are pleased to see both residential and commercial building projects going ahead, which means both business growth and stronger communities,” said Councillor Peter Hume, Chair of Planning Committee.

The number of building permit applications was 8,537, compared with 8,234 in 2012. Builders filed applications for 6,726 new houses in 2013, compared with 6,584 in 2012.

Building Code Services collects fees to cover the costs of all of its services. Total revenues for the year were almost $25 million.
