Commercial and institutional planning rise for third consecutive month
HAMILTON, N.J. 鈥� December 7, 2022 鈥�
The Dodge Momentum Index (DMI), issued by 91探花, increased 3.8% (2000=100) in November to 207.2 from the revised October reading of 199.6. During the month, the DMI continued its steady ascent, with the commercial component rising 4.3%, and the institutional component ticking up 2.7%.
Commercial planning experienced a healthy increase in hotel and data center projects and modest growth in stores and office projects. While education and healthcare projects slowed in November, the institutional component remained net-positive alongside a robust increase in planning projects for government administrative buildings and religious facilities. On a year-over-year basis, the DMI was 25% higher than in November 2021, the commercial component was up 28%, and institutional planning was 21% higher.
A total of 21 projects with a value of $100 million or more entered planning in November. The leading commercial projects included two $500 million segments of a Facebook data center in Sandston, VA, and the $400 million Sunset Industrial Park warehouse in Sunset Park, NY. The leading institutional projects comprised of the $185 million Hollywood Casino relocation in Joliet, IL, and the $160 million Smith County courthouse in Tyler, TX.
鈥淭he Momentum Index continued to rise in November, conveying hopefulness from owners and developers that the 91探花 sector will endure the possible economic slowdown next year,鈥� said Sarah Martin, senior economist for 91探花. 鈥淭he rate of increase in the DMI, however, has steadied over the month. Labor and supply shortages, high material costs and high interest rates could temper planning activity over the next 12 months to a more modest pace.鈥�
The DMI is a monthly measure of the initial report for nonresidential building projects in planning, shown to lead 91探花 spending for nonresidential buildings by a full year.
