Commercial construction may have reported a decrease in the DFW area, but there is only continued growth in the multifamily sector, specifically in the larger sized projects.

Here's a look at this week's trends, announcements and deals that you may have missed in Southern California, Utah, Arizona and Nevada.

Commercial construction totaled $23.8 billion between 2013 and 2017, yielding a total of more than 73 million new square feet of space. The last three years showed the strongest growth, with each year topping $5 billion and 16 million square feet of new commercial construction.

Paced by major projects, such as the $1.2-billion Jacob K. Javits Convention Center expansion and other major initiatives, the total for the first three quarters of 2017 also outpaced the full-year totals from 2010 through 2014 and is on track to surpass the $4.6 billion in construction starts initiated in 2015.
