Building permit leads in Santa Monica
Santa Monica's counter isn't switched on yet. The city publishes permits through OpenCounter, a portal engine our collectors don't speak yet; it is on the build list. The nightly sweep starts the day we have a road in, and the first scored leads reach subscribers the morning after.
Why Santa Monica permits will be worth watching
Santa Monica is creative office, Promenade retail in reinvention, and hospitality, all filed under some of the strictest review in the state.
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 Santa Monica, Los Angeles County's market runs on studio and media facilities, corporate campuses, hospitality from downtown to the beach cities, and one of the busiest tenant improvement markets in the country, and the live counters linked below are already being read nightly.
