Alabama has recently issued 16 new building permits for construction projects exceeding $1 million each, indicating significant growth in the state’s construction sector. With projects in both North Alabama and the Birmingham metropolitan area, these permits highlight strong investments in real estate development and infrastructure.

This past week, Alabama saw an increase in construction activities with the issuance of 16 new building permits for projects that exceed $1 million. This substantial rise in construction reflects ongoing growth and investment in the state’s infrastructure and housing sector.
The permits are distributed across the state, with six located in North Alabama and eight in the Birmingham metropolitan area. This geographic distribution highlights the emerging development trends, particularly in areas experiencing heightened demand for housing and community facilities.
Among the new permits, three are designated for new homes in the Glasscott neighborhood at Ross Bridge in Hoover. These homes are all situated on Glasscott Trail, representing a significant investment in residential development in the area. With desirable amenities, the Glasscott neighborhood is poised to attract new residents looking for modern living spaces.
One of the most notable projects is the expansion of Grace Community Church located in Huntsville. This expansion will include a new Children’s Ministry Wing, aimed at enhancing facilities for community engagement and support for families. The expansion project is expected to be the most costly among the newly issued permits and is slated for completion by October 2026.
Since June 5, the total value of new construction projects in Madison, Morgan, and Limestone counties has soared to nearly $350 million. This remarkable figure illustrates the ongoing commitment to development in these vibrant communities.
Among the significant projects in this area includes a substantial housing development in Decatur, a new hotel in Huntsville, and the expansion of a solar manufacturing facility, also in Huntsville. These projects contribute not only to the local economy but also support job creation and sustainable initiatives.
The tracking of these new construction projects is managed by Report Construction LLC, which compiles and provides detailed lists based on building permits issued each week. This resource is invaluable for stakeholders involved in construction, planning, and economic development.
