Discussion: Portland development has slowed a lot.

[pdxsg34]

I was combing through permits on PMaps, and it appears we only have:

Significant projects permit approved and UC:
UC (2023-04) - 1025 SW Mill St (Vernier Science Building) Renovation

UC (2023-04) - SW Park & Clinton 11-Story
UC (2023-05) - NE 18th & Davis 3-story
UC (2023-05) - NW Park & Davis 6-Story (Choice Cambria Hotel)
UC (2023-06) - 253 N Broadway (Albina) - 7-Story Development
UC (2023-06) - Francis + Clare Apartments - 4-Story

Significant projects under permit review the past 3 months:

Under Review (2023-06-13) - SW 13th & Alder (Julia West House) 12-story

Significant projects under recent land use review:
Land Use (2023-04-23) - NW 18th & Everett Renovation & 5-Story
Land Use (2023-04-26) - N Maryland & Holman 5-Story
Land Use (2023-05-24) - Jefferson High School Modernization
Land Use (2023-06-12) - NW 17th & Upshur 5-story
Land Use (2023-06-23) - Conway Block 292E 6/7-Story
Land Use (2023-06-28) - NE 7th & Irving 15-Story
Land Use (2023-07-06) - N Williams & Alberta 5-story (Strong Family House)
Land Use (2023-07-20) - NW 9th & Hoyt (Honeyman Hardware) 8-story

Based on the past ebbs and flows of projects and construction, it seems pretty light, especially on the Early Assistance/Land Use (incoming projects). No significant EA projects in 2023 (building 6+ stories in inner portland) Are there any reasons for this (construction costs, economic standing, etc.)? For a city this large, it seems like we should have way more coming down the pipe. Only 7, SEVEN project permitted the last 3 months! Only 6, SIX applied for permit review?....
