A housing project that had been frozen for a couple of years is moving again, and some new ones too. Office buildings are being renovated. A town center that had been half-built then basically abandoned for a long time is active again, with Nokia renting a key office building. I don't know how much of this is increased demand, and how much is loosened credit. But at least construction people are working.
