2025 Mid-Year Nonresidential Construction Update
1. Recovery in Nonresidential Sectors
After a slow start to the year, spending has rebounded across 12 nonresidential construction subcategories. Power, airports, sports arenas, manufacturing, and dams and canals are leading the growth.
2. Growth in Data Center Segment

Look for our new monthly data center report launching next month, which will provide insights on trends, regional activity, and forward-looking analysis based on preconstruction data.
