Without data centers, commercial planning would have receded 2.3% in April and the entire DMI would have receded 3.0%. Office and hotel planning saw a sharp retreat this month, while warehouse and retail planning modestly ticked up. On the institutional side, planning momentum waned for education, healthcare, and government buildings. This was slightly offset by an uptick in recreational projects.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In April, the DMI was up 22% when compared to year-ago levels. The commercial segment was up 20% from April 2024, and the institutional segment was up 26% after a weak April last year. If we remove all data center projects between 2023 and 2025, commercial planning would be down 1% from year-ago levels and the entire DMI would be up 7%.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A total of 40 projects valued at $100 million or more entered planning throughout April. The largest commercial projects included the TA Realty LLC Data Center campus in Dulles, Virginia \u2013 which includes five data centers, each valued at $384 million. It also included the $350 million QTS Data Center DFW2-DC3 in Lancaster, Texas and the Powhatan Data Center Campus in Powhatan, Virginia \u2013 which includes three data centers, each valued at $300 million. The largest institutional projects to enter planning were the $493 million Revere High School in Revere, Massachusetts, the $230 million Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Medical Center Hospital Tower in Clackamas, Oregon, and the $203 million Kailua-Kona Hospital in Kaiminani, Hawaii.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The DMI is a monthly measure of the value of nonresidential building projects going into planning, shown to lead construction spending for nonresidential buildings by a full year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26646\" src=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/A-graph-and-chart-of-a-graph__AI-generated-content-may-be-incorrect-1-280x300.png\" alt=\"A Graph And Chart Of A Graph AI Generated Content May Be Incorrect (1)\" width=\"551\" height=\"590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/A-graph-and-chart-of-a-graph__AI-generated-content-may-be-incorrect-1-280x300.png 280w, https:\/\/www.construction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/A-graph-and-chart-of-a-graph__AI-generated-content-may-be-incorrect-1.png 446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Data center surge offsets weakness in other categories.
