2015 Should Be Another Good Year For Commercial Construction! Glenn Ebersole A look back at last year indicates that 2014was a good year for com- mercial construction. The Tri County Area of Berks, Chester and Montgomery Counties, the Greater Reading Area and the Greater Lehigh Valley area in Pennsylvania, showed extreme- ly positive results in commercial construction. Successful com- mercial construction projects were completed or underway in the cities of Bethlehem, Easton and Reading as well as in less- urban regions of Berks, Bucks, Chester, Lehigh and Montgom- ery counties. The projects in- clude senior living, health care, multifamily housing, corporate headquarters, office, hotel, re- tail, distribution centers and warehousing. The success seen in 2014 should continue in 2015 for our region in Pennsylvania. Some significant commercial devel- opment construction projects started in 2014 will continue into 2015. And there are sev- eral very significant commercial projects that have been in the

land development and planning process for the last year or two that will bemoving forward into construction in 2015. The types of projects fall into the senior living, health care, multifamily housing, corporate office as well as mixed-use developments that include office, retail, apart- ments, etc. Mc Graw Hill indicates that private nonresidential construc- tion grew at a positive pace on a national basis. Statistics indicate that total dollars spent showed an increase of almost 10 percent over the previous 12 months. The Dodge Outlook Report predicts an increase in construction starts nationally for commercial building in 2015. A main reason for this is that the economic environment going

forward indicates several posi- tives that will help to increase total construction starts. 1.Financing for construction projects is becoming more avail- able, reflecting some easing of bank-lending standards. 2.The investment community is more focused on real estate development. 3.More construction bond measures are receiving approval. Near-term interest rates should stay low, and this also is helpful. All in all, the prediction for 2015 is positive for commercial construction around the corner and around the country.
