2017 New Housing Construction Activity Report

The New Housing Construction Activity Report (PDF) shows that there are currently 251 housing units under construction in the City of Santa Rosa.  In addition, 80 are approved for construction but have not yet started for a variety of reasons by the contractor.

The report also shows that there are currently 845 units that have building permits submitted.   Of these, about half are with the developer working through mitigation, finance and other issues.  The other half are being prioritized by staff for review to move as many as possible into construction this construction season.     We anticipate approximately 100 of these units being ready for construction in the next month.  The timing on the remainder units depend on multiple factors including staffing/consultant review capacity, applicant timeliness, and resolution with outside agencies (CORP, Regional Board, etc.).
