The Dodge Momentum Index fell 1.3% in June, according to Dodge Data & An- alytics. The Momentum Index is a monthly measure of the first report for non-residential building projects in plan- ning, which have been shown to lead con- struction spending for non-residential buildings by a full year. With the June decline, the Index continued its lackluster performance thus far in 2015, and is now up just 2.2% compared to June 2014. Commercial building posted the biggest loss of momentum, sliding 2.6% in June. At the same time, real estate mar- ket fundamentals remain favorable and are expected to support a pickup in new plans for commercial buildings later this year. The institutional building sector edged up 0.6% in June, and is now 10.1% above a year ago. In the commercial building sector, there were three projects that exceeded $100 million: the 128-million Alexander Court office addition and renovation in Washington D.C., the 110-million Wharf InterContinental Hotel, also in Washington, and a $108-million warehouse in Boiling Springs, PA.
