Home builders picked up the pace this month. Twin Cities builders were issued 443 permits to build 903 units, according to the Builders Association of the Twin Cities. Half of those units (a single permit can be issued to build multiple units) were rental apartments and other kinds of multi-family housing.
Both permits and the number of units were up considerably from last year, but the number of planned units was down slightly from the previous month. The report comes after a quieter June report, but such volatility is common from month to month.
Here's a link to the full report with all the numbers.
