Halfway through the year, here’s how building activity is adding up in Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls building activity is down sharply compared with last year but still ahead of 2021.

Dragged in part by a drop in home construction, building activity is behind 2022 but ahead of 2021.

Sioux Falls brought in $160 million in building permits in March, enough to lift overall activity for the year ahead of 2021 levels but behind last year’s record total.

The pace of construction in Sioux Falls last month tapered off from a busy start to the year.

The temperatures didn’t reflect the building activity in Sioux Falls in January as the city reported its hottest month for permits in three years.

Sioux Falls fell short of breaking the $2 billion mark for construction in 2022 but still had a record year.

A few large projects were permitted in November, but overall building activity continued its pattern of slowing to end the year.

Sioux Falls building activity has nearly doubled from 2021’s record year.
