City building official Jenny Nickerson gave the council a detailed recap of 2025 construction activity on Nov. 1, citing both completed projects and developments currently under construction.

Nickerson highlighted major completed and opened projects such as the Swire Coca-Cola distribution expansion and a renovated UPS facility. She said new retail and restaurant openings include Dave & Buster's and Scale House Market at the Quarry. On multifamily housing, Nickerson described Marabou Place (about 300 units across 12 buildings visible from Pines, main access off Roby Road) and Orchard Vista, and noted Miraboo multifamily projects and McKinnon Place apartments returning to construction.

Nickerson also reported on industrial and transit activity, including a new Miraboo Transit Center and other industrial relocations and expansions. She summarized a top-five completed-project valuation list led by the Swire Coca-Cola expansion (about $15.4 million) and the combined UPS work (about $14.2 million).

Councilmembers asked questions about specific parcels, ingress/egress for new multifamily developments and timeline expectations; Nickerson said early dirt work and infrastructure are under way for some projects and that foundations for certain multifamily buildings are not expected for several months.

What happens next: staff will continue permitting oversight and will bring discrete permit applications and project-specific items back to council as required.
