Building permit leads in La Mesa
La Mesa's counter isn't switched on yet. We're still mapping which permit system the city runs. The nightly sweep starts the day we have a road in, and the first scored leads reach subscribers the morning after.
Why La Mesa permits will be worth watching
La Mesa is a village downtown, a trolley spine, and a regional hospital, East County's most walkable counter.
A building permit is the earliest public record most projects ever produce, filed months before anything reaches a bid board or the trade press. Around La Mesa, San Diego County's market runs on biotech and life-science campuses in Sorrento Valley and Torrey Pines, the convention and Gaslamp hospitality corridor, and defense contractors across Kearny Mesa, and the live counters linked below are already being read nightly.
