HOUSTON - Houston’s building permits reached an all-time high in January with single-family homes, office towers, high-rise condos, apartment buildings all pitching in. Over the last 12 months $6.2 billion in construction was permitted, a record level in the city.

Residential permits in January were up 51 percent over January of 2013, according to a report by the Greater Houston Partnership.

Permits were issued in January to build a whopping 49 multifamily buildings in Houston.

Transwestern is preparing to pour a foundation in a few days on the 30-story BHP Billiton tower and Hines is starting work on a 1 million-sf tower on Main Street. And the skyline in Uptown, the Energy Corridor and The Woodlands is dotted with multiple construction cranes.
