With the final quarter of the year remaining, Steinbach Mayor Earl Funk is predicting another fantastic year when it comes to building permits.
Council passed a resolution at their Tuesday meeting to accept the building permit numbers for September.
The busy month saw a total permit value granted of $17.6 million. That included $10.2 million for residential and $7.4 million for commercial, industrial, schools and churches.
That translates to 21 single and two-family units, 32 multi-family units, and an additional 33,000 square feet of commercial space.
Totals this year so far are also impressive, reaching $95.4 million with close to two thirds in the residential category. So far this year 313 dwelling units and over 185,000 square feet of commercial space have been added.
Funk pointed out that final numbers for 2024 included a value of $104.9 million and 344 housing units.
Pointing out last year was record setting, Funk said he expects great things in the final 2025 numbers.
“I’m seeing another record year for the City of Steinbach,” he said.
