The market is beginning to accept the new reality

My overriding impression of EXPO REAL is that the sector is no longer focusing on when the old market conditions will finally return, but rather on how projects can function again under today’s circumstances. This is an important and necessary step. High interest rates, rising construction costs and complex regulations are not simply going to disappear. In residential construction in particular, it is now crucial to rethink projects: funding opportunities, construction costs, financing structures and rental models must be consistently integrated from the outset. In our day-to-day work, we see that even stalled projects can become viable investments again if different scenarios are analysed using data-driven calculations. There has been a noticeable increase in the market’s willingness to embrace such pragmatic solutions.
