KEY POINTS

  • In June 2025, Nonresidential Construction Starts reached $79.6B, the highest monthly total on record.

  • $22.4B in June megaprojects drove 9.3% YTD Nonresidential growth.

  • Manufacturing Starts surged 77% YTD, led by the $25B Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company chip plant in Arizona.

ConstructConnect’s latest data reveals another record-breaking month for U.S. Nonresidential Construction Starts, with June spending totaling $79.6 billion — up 1.4% from May’s revised figure of $78.5 billion.

This marks the second consecutive month of record-setting activity and further solidifies 2025’s unexpected turnaround in construction growth.

Chief Economist Michael Guckes reported that year-to-date (YTD) nonresidential spending growth jumped to 9.3%, moving decisively into positive territory and continuing the upward trajectory begun in the second quarter.

“After finishing the first quarter down 34 percent, manufacturing starts have recorded an extraordinary 
rebound. Year-to-date results through June reported 77 percent growth, thanks in large part to multi-billion-dollar megaprojects,” Guckes said.

Megaprojects Drive Market Surge

The surge in June was powered by construction megaprojects, including the $25 billion Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) Fab 3 facility in Phoenix, Arizona, which alone accounted for nearly half of all manufacturing starts so far this year.

Since May, ConstructConnect has tracked $55 billion in megaprojects, pushing the 2025 total to 33 projects worth $90.3 billion, a remarkable acceleration compared to early-year doldrums, Guckes noted.
