Last year was a huge year for construction in the Town of Riverview.
In 2025, 193 building permits were issued, worth over $99 million.
Residential and multi-residential permits dominated, with 84 permits valued at over $92 million.
Mayor Andrew Leblanc says this adds 441 new housing units to the community,”When people are looking to come to Riverview, every resident can call the community home and find the type of housing they’re looking for.”
“We’re pleased to see developers responding with a range of housing types to meet market demand. Backed by support from all three levels of government, Riverview is advancing a broad range of residential projects, further strengthening our foundation for long-term growth.”
Plan360 reported that multi-unit developments topped construction activity, with 346 new units approved. Importantly, the year also saw strong approval numbers for lower-density housing, with 47 semi-detached homes and 37 single-family houses approved, along with eight townhouses and three mobile or mini homes.
Commercial development was the second-largest driver of growth after residential construction, with four permits approved in 2025, totalling over $5 million. That represents nearly 52 times that of the same one-year timeframe in 2024, due to a few major projects such as the Riverview Mall redevelopment.
