We've had a lot of questions about some of the activity happening at Woodmen and Marksheffel.
It's a new O'Reilly Auto Parts store under construction just south of the Maverick on the SW corner of Woodmen/Marksheffel. #construction#development#growth#AutoParts
Another great commercial property class last night. We had a nice mix of brokers, small biz owners, and contractors.
Did you miss it? We’ll have another one this Fall. #freeclass#CommercialProperty
Home construction in May was strong, but only for 3 of our 8 jurisdictions.
Here's the breakdown
Colorado Springs - 184

Monument - 22
Fountain, Manitou, GMF, Palmer Lake, and Woodland Park - 0
Total for the month was 304 single family homes. ( 6%)
Some mechanical contractors have been busy this year, especially with furnace installs.
We have already issued permits for 3,293 new furnaces in 2026. That's an 11% increase compared to this time last year. #hvac#mechanical#furnace#construction#heating
Are you an entrepreneur looking for a brick and mortar space? Picking the wrong space could be a nightmare.
That's where our Commercial Property Class can really come in handy.
Our next class is TOMORROW and we still have open seats. It's #FREE

Residential Alteration permits are up 4% so far this year.
The biggest increase is in water heaters. We have permitted 4,154 new water heaters in the Pikes Peak region, a 13% increase compared to this time last year. #waterheater#plumbing#alterations
As expected, permit activity has been extra busy this month, likely because of the energy code change coming up on June 30th.
Perhaps the biggest increase is single family home permits, where we've already issued 116 in just 1 week. #codechange#energycode#permits
