NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMIT VALUATIONS

After five months of 1989, the total value of non-residential building permits issued in Orange County was slightly in excess of $600 million, 6% ahead of the comparable period of last year. This outpaced both the changes recorded in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties as well as the statewide figure. Riverside and San Diego counties both had larger increases.

As well as an overall improved value for the five-month period, industrial and office buildings and additions/alterations valuations improved compared to 1988. Hotels/motels and stores/mercantile buildings valuations still remain behind 1988 on a year-to-date basis.
