Hamilton issued $255.04 million in building permits in January - I believe this is a record for a single month.

This includes several large permits for new buildings, including:
$73 million for the new L3 Wescam HQ in Waterdown, which I find odd considering it is almost complete. The building is a new, 330,000 square foot office building with great views of Burlington Bay from the escarpment;
$12 million for the new Indwell project on East Avenue near Hamilton General;
$3 million for "stores" at 1040 Garner Road West in Ancaster;
$23 million for the new Kiwanis project at 6 Acorn St;
$50 million for Trend Condos in Waterdown;
$15 million for another building at Trend Condos;
$2.4 million for a retail complex at 120 Portia Drive in Ancaster; and
$7 million for a new manufacturing plant in the Waterdown business park.
