A total of 274 building plans to the value of N$195 million were approved by the City of Windhoek in March 2015. On a year\u2011to\u2011date basis, 672 plans were approved compared to 643 plans over the same period last year. In value terms, plans approved year-to-date are worth N$462.3 million compared to N$795.0 million for the same period in 2013, down 41.8%. This year to date decrease in value of plans approved is mostly due base effects as three large commercial projects were approved by the municipality in February 2014. On a monthly basis, 61 more plans were approved in March than in February, and the total value of plans approved was up 13% m\/m.<\/p>\n
