An architect notes that Indianapolis shows lower building activity than last year, with only New York higher among big cities. High material costs and secured securities shift funds to investments, while steel and lumber supply chains strain projects. Public sentiment on plumbers sharpens, amid wage- swing uncertainties in unions. Permit values for March and April rise modestly, with real estate transfers and several notable sales in Lincoln Park and nearby streets reflecting a steadier market than construction.
