We were flat to the mat with apartments jobs in design and planning but has fallen off a cliff since I’d say May.
We need another country to take over at this stage.
And we’ve had a great Summer so far, so they can’t use the weather delayed building excuse.
Time to turn off the oven lads, because we are well and truly cooked.
We create a ridiculous and onerous planning system and building regs, and then we’re shocked when sites become unviable.
BTS apartments aren’t viable, BTR apartments don’t stack for institutional investors and developing apartments for AHBs for social and cost rental has fallen off a cliff due to the uncertainty the new Minister has introduced into the market, through holding up approvals and pulling the plug on PPP projects completely.
Developers and contractors are pivoting from residential into PBSA, Logistics, Data Centre’s and Life Sciences here and mainly abroad, I for one don’t blame them at all.
Aren’t they all on holidays? It’ll pick up near Christmas…trust the process
Surely this will reduce supply and thus house prices will go up again?
Supply go down, net immigration go up. Profit
The big take away is that the situation is on track to get far worse and Government housing targets of 60,000 units a year during the life time of this government will be missed by a country mile.
>Just 30,330 homes were completed during 2024, while the programme for government pledges to deliver more than 300,000 by the end of 2030.There were 5,938 new dwelling completions in the first quarter of this year, data from the Central Statistics Office shows, which was a rise of 2 per cent on the same three months of 2024, but still low in the context of this year’s target of 41,000.
So a target of 41,000 units this year and 300,000 over 5 years. And in 3 months all that was built was 6,000 units. But the target over 5 years per quarter is to output 15,000 units. Meaning the construction sector would have to expand by 2.5 times its current size to get to 15,000 units a quarter/60,000 a year. As to where these circa 100,000 new construction employees are going to come from or where they are going to be housed is anyones guess.
More regulations. It will definitely help!
Here we go folks
Might heart does go out to people trying to get on the property ladder.
I don’t understand how this is such a seemingly unsolvable issue in Ireland? Like how can we just not get it right, even after over a decade. Its not rocket science, aand there are other countries who have a much more affordable and functioning system. Why can’t we learn from them? Why do we always have to reinvent the wheel? Is it just pride or arrogance or what?
