Single-detached construction mainly held steady in urban markets. Quebec showed the best improvement improvement as starts rose 21.0 per cent to 35,700 units SAAR (29,500). The gain, however, stems from a low level level in the closing quarter of 1993. Most of it took place in small centres and rural areas while urban centre starts only inched up. Multiple unit construction rose in urban areas from the preceding quarter. In the Prairie region, starts moved ahead 7.1 per cent to a rate of 24,100 units SAAR (22,500), the best result since the end of 1992. The advance took place in Alberta where starts jumped nearly 14 per cent to 20,900 units SAAR. Starts fell in the other two provinces: down a third to 1,100 units in Saskatchewan and 13 per cent to 2,100 units in Manitoba. Home constmction fell 41.3 per cent in the Atlantic to 7,400 units SAAR (12,600). All four provinces shared in the exceptional decline. On a SAAR basis, the results are as follows: follows: P.E.I. starts fell a quarter to 600 units, New Brunswick down a third to 1,800 units, Nova Scotia fell by about 40 per cent to 4,000 units, and Newfoundland down more than 60 per cent to 1,000 units.
