In 2013-2014, it fell by 53.33%.Then came 2014-2015. Some five years ago, residential building rebounded by 157.14%. And in 2017-2018, construction increased by 87.50%.From June 2018 through May 2019, home building increased by another 50%.Meantime, says the CIRB, here’s a picture of multi-family construction in Del Norte County during that 20-year period:From 1999-2003, relatively few multi-family units were built. But in the 12 months of 2004, 77 units were constructed, according to the report.Then again in the 2008, 82 units were constructed. In 2011, 64 more were built.But that was the last surge in multi-family construction, with the number of new buildings in Del Norte County tapering off through May of this year. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
