Statement by Arnaud Ahlborn, Managing Director of INDUSTRIA Immobilien GmbH:
“100 days in office: The new federal government has set the first course for housing policy – some of them in the right direction, others with problematic side effects. Above all, the ‘construction turbo’ sends an important signal to the industry. Faster approval procedures, the simplification of building law requirements and better coordination between the federal, state and local governments are urgently needed to get new housing construction back on track. The announcements give cause for cautious optimism – the decisive factor will be how quickly and consistently these measures are implemented. Reducing bureaucracy must not remain lip service, but must be reflected in accelerated project implementation.”
