Buffalo Construction Inc is the licensed contractor for structural improvements to UPS Healthcare at 6204 New Cut Rd, working for owner New Cut Center II LLC as a commercial alteration. The building-permit application has been submitted with an estimated cost of $4,000,000 and focuses on major structural work (think reinforcements or big interior changes), and it currently shows no automatic sprinkler system planned.
Kiewit Infrastructure South Co., represented by Devin Henderson, has filed an encroachment permit for work affecting 236 E Muhammad Ali Blvd (running to 200 Abraham Flexner Way) on property owned by UofL Health Louisville Inc. The permit calls for an asphalt street cut and a road closure (no lane or sidewalk closures listed), with work scheduled from August 25, 2026 through October 1, 2028 — so expect a long-running project and possible detours in the area.
A commercial new building permit has been submitted for Tidal Wave Auto Spa, an express car wash at 5209 Dixie Highway. Owner Lawson George D. Jr. is listed with architect Todd Albritton on the project, which carries an estimated cost of $1,000,000, and the file notes a parking‑lot permit must be verified before the building permit can be issued.
